Cerebrum
100
A vertical slice on neuroimaging, cutting through the "crown" of the head downward
What is coronal plane
100
One of two broad parts of the nervous system which includes the brain and spinal cord
What is the central nervous system
100
Relays information from cerebral cortex to cerebellum
What is the pons
100
Use of this common substance can cause atrophy of the cerebellum and disturbances in gait
What is alcohol
100
This structure connects the two halves of the cerebrum along the lateral fissure.
What is the corpus callosum
200
The frontal lobe is located THIS to the occipital lobe
What is anterior or rostral
200
Made up of skeletal and autonomic nervous systems
What is peripheral nervous system
200
Important for maintaining muscle tone
What is the medulla
200
Damage to the cerebellum causes ataxia on THIS side of the lesion, which is also related to the latin word for "same" or "self".
What is ipsilateral
200
The cerebrum is divided into the cerebral hemispheres and THIS, which includes the thalamus and hypothalamus
What is the diencephalon
300
The left temporal lobe is located HERE to the longitudinal fissure
What is lateral
300
Part of the autonomic nervous system, it deals with arousal.
What is the sympathetic nervous system
300
Found in the midbrain, it is important in motor movement communication and is implicated in several movement disorders including Parkinson's disease
What is substantia nigra
300
The cerebellum is connected to the cortex via this structure
What is the pons
300
This cortex is located medially to the temporal lobe and has sulci and gyri similar to the other major lobes
What is insular cortex
400
A location that is toward the midline of the body.
What is medial
400
Active during digestion, this is included in the autonomic nervous system
What is the parasympathetic nervous system
400
Because managing heart rate, arousal, and breathing are key brainstem functions, a large stroke there is likely to have this dire outcome
What is death (or coma)
400
cerebellum midline lesions cause ataxia that is localized to this tree like area of the body
What is the trunk
400
Also called the precentral sulcus, this cortex is important for volitional movement
What is the primary motor cortex
500
Above the diencephalic junction, this term is used to describe anterior
What is rostral
500
Includes the forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain, this nervous system is a primary focus for Neuropsychology
What is the central nervous system
500
The reticular formation, which is part of the midbrain, is involved in this daily activity, without which we would require significant coffee.
What is sleep
500
This malformation, which becomes a problem when cerebellar tonsils herniate into the spinal canal, is typically congenital/developmental.
What is a chiari malformation
500
Left handed persons are most likely to be language dominant in this hemisphere
What is the left hemisphere
