This term describes the stage between [expected decline in memory/thinking w/ age] and [a more serious decline of dementia].
Mild Cognitive Impairment
This portion of the brain is associated with the ability to create new memories.
Medial Temporal Lobe
Name one condition that could occur as a result of injury to the dominant hemisphere.
Expressive Aphasia - damage to Broca's (44,45) - triangular and opercular areas of inferior frontal gyrus
Receptive Aphasia - damage to Wernicke's (22) - superior temporal gyrus and supramarginal gyrus of parietal lobe
This would be an appropriate stimulus to arouse a person in a state of Stupor

Person, Place, Time
This term describes the circuitry within the spinal cord that can generate stepping patterns.
Central pattern generators (CPG)
This scale can be used to track the progression of cognitive functioning after a traumatic brain injury.

Being able to name a former president is an example of this type of memory.
Explicit
Initiation of arm movement occurs in this area (be specific to side and exact location) and would be most impacted by a lesion to this artery.

Basilar Artery infarct
Hernations - tonsilar, uncal, transtentorial
These structures are involved in implicit memory of skills and habits.
Neocortex, cerebellum, basal ganglia
Damage to this structure in one hemisphere has minimal effects on function because of bilateralism.
