Conventional TMS usually targets this area of the brain

On Saturday night, you went to trivia with some friends who had a bit too much to drink. In the spirit of trivia, you mentioned this cool fact about how alcohol can have this effect on sleep architecture (two possible answers)
1. decreased latency of sleep onset
2. increased latency of sleep onset
3. decreased stage 3-4 sleep
4. increased stage 3-4 sleep
1. decreased latency of sleep onset
2. decreased stage 3-4 sleep

Frontocentral beta activity on EEG is seen in this condition
normal adult drowsiness
200
Often develops as a nonparaneoplastic phenomenon in association with diabetes and polyendocrinopathy and, often, antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase.
Stiff Person Syndrome
(The GAD antibody you get on consults!)
200
This neuroanatomical structure, located in the frontal lobe, is particularly important for decision-making and self-regulation. Dysfunction here can lead to impulsive behavior and personality changes seen in personality disorders or frontal lobe damage.
What is...?
A) Anterior cingulate cortex
B) Prefrontal cortex
C) Basal ganglia
D) Temporal lobe
Prefrontal cortex

A patient with this type of dementia has the above FDG-PET scan.
FTD

Let's cerebrate on Saturday night with the cerebellum!
Jk, bad pun.
But on the topic of cerebellum, what kind of cells project out of them?
1. granule cells
2. golgi cells
3. basket cells
4. stellate cells
5. purkinje cells
Purkinje Cells
(all other cells do not project out of the cerebellum)
300
bilaterally synchronous triphasic slow waves is seen in this condition
hepatic encephalopathy

increase in delta wave frequency on EEG is seen with use of this substance
Benzodiazepine use
400
neoteny, vestigia, atavisms, microgenia, mongoloid fold, simian crease, brushfield spots
