Miscellaneous Neuroscience
A disorder of the pineal gland would most likely result in a disorder which affects sleep. True or False
True
This lobe is the biggest in the cerebrum
Frontal Lobe
This method of studying neurons was implemented by Santiago Ramon y Cajal and Camillo Golgi.
What is staining/Golgi staining/Reazione Nera?
This person usually teaches Introduction to Neuroscience and is very preferentially referred to by their first name. Their last name rhymes with postmortem and boredom.
Who is Dr. Debra Artim?
This Country's Capital is Ottawa
This Meninge forms the outermost layer of the Brain
Dura Mater
The Grooves in the brain are referred to as these
Sulci
This is one of the most common ways of studying brain structure and blood flow within the brain. Due to this technology, many scientists could observe what brain regions seem to be more activated (in terms of blood flow) compared to others when performing certain tasks or experimental objectives.
What are fMRI studies?
This person is famous for teaching Functional Neuroanatomy. This person's first name is a controversial German march song.
Who is Dr. Erika Fanselow?
This Country has 11 time zones
Russia
The Brain is this weight (Lbs)
3 Pounds. Will accept 2.5-4lbs
This Structure Connects two Hemispheres of the Brain
Corpus Callosum
This is the commonly referred name of the complete map of neuronal networks and connections within an organism's brain. Pitt is also working on the MBC project which aims to develop one of these for marmoset monkeys.
What is Connectome?
This person is loved by most on the Neuro Club board and the board will never stop talking about them. Their signature class is Honors Synaptic Transmission.
Who is Dr. Stephen Meriney?
This song was number one on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles in 2012
Somebody That I used to know
This is how many Neurons are in a Human Brain
86 Billion
This Cranial Nerve Controls swallowing
Glossopharyngeal nerve
A fairly recent neuroscience method and procedure that relies on the proximity of proteins to each other to initiate a nucleotide ligation and implication process which includes the oligonucleotides for fluorophores, which in turn shows protein-protein interaction through visual cues. (Clue: two of the three words of the answer are in the question)
What is Proximity Ligation Assay?
They are old. They got their Ph.D. from Stanford. They are incredibly smart. They give hard exams. They are a neurophysiologist/electrophysiologist and teach the class Neurophysiology. They are old, but still very smart.
Who is Dr. Jon Johnson?
This Cloud is flat and white and will produce no more then a slight drizzle at maximum
Stratus Cloud
This animal has the biggest brain
The Sperm Whale
Besides the Temporal, Frontal, Occipital, and Parietal lobes, this lobe, which controls sensory motoring processing, risk-reward behavior etc, acts as the fifth, and less well known lobe of the brain
The Insula Lobe (Insular Cortex)
This procedure relies on lipid dissolution and hydrogel injection to make the brain translucent which in turn, after staining methods, offers a window view into the 3-dimensional structure of the brain.
What is CLARITY?
This is the Number of Advanced Electives offered by the University of Pittsburgh Department of Neuroscience
17
This Country has the Highest Density of Vending Machines per Capita
Japan
