Objectives
Unit 1 – Question 4
Unit 4 – Question 3
Unit 8 – Question 1
You are trying to read your neuroscience textbook on the treadmill, but you find that if you run fast, you can not read the words. You can only read the words when you are walking very slowly and your head is not bobbing around. This suppression of visual details when vestibular activity is increased is referred to as THIS.

p. 341
Objective Unit 12 – Question 3
When screening the cranial nerves, you observe that your patient has paralysis of their frontalis and orbicularis oculi muscle on the right side of their face. They also have loss of taste on the right side of their anterior tongue. You suspect THIS cranial nerve is damaged.
What is the facial nerve?
p. 377
Objective Unit 12 – Questions 2 and 3
After putting on their shirt, your patient shares that their tag is bothering them. However, after a few minutes, they share that they no longer notice the tag. This decrease in response to a repeated, benign stimulus [the shirt tag] is considered THIS form of neuroplasticity.
