A cerebellar lesion causes (ipsilateral/contralateral) deficits.
What is ipsilateral?
100
Absence of movement vs. weakness
What are paralysis vs. paresis?
100
Extensive network of afferent & efferent fibers interconnecting & influencing all parts of brain; not fully understood.
What is the limbic lobe?
100
The CN that, when something goes wrong with it, can cause severe facial pain.
What is the trigeminal nerve (V)?
100
The number of major basal ganglia circuits.
What is four?
200
The cerebellar area responsible for coordination of skilled movements.
What is the posterior lobe?
200
Decussation point of the lateral corticospinal tract
What are the pyramids of the medulla?
200
Associated with sleep-wake cycles, mood and emotion
What is the reticular formation?
200
Ipsilateral deficits in ability to smile, pucker and taste on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue result from damage to this.
What is the facial nerve (VII)?
200
Of the three types of motor units, the one that exerts the greatest force used for brief exertion (e.g., jumping).
What are fast fatiguable or large motor units?
300
Cooperative action of muscles to achieve coordinated movement, mediated by the cerebellum.
What is muscle synergy?
300
Loss of muscle bulk due to denervation.
What is atrophy?
300
Severe memory loss results from damage to this structure located in the medial temporal lobe region.
What is the hippocampus?
300
Multi-branched nerve controlling visceral, pharyngeal, and laryngeal function
What is the vagus nerve, X?
300
The thalamic nucleus involved with hearing.
What is the medial geniculate body?
400
The cerebellar area responsible for equilibrium and coordinated eye movements.
What is the floccular nodular lobe?
400
A disorder of motor planning for speech
What is verbal apraxia or apraxia of speech?
400
Indiscriminate eating, oral exploration, fearlessness, docility, visual agnosia, inappropriate hypersexuality, & amnesia are associated with bilateral damage to this structure.
What is the amygdala?
400
The four cranial nerves that control eye function by name and number.
What are optic (II), oculomotor (III), trochlear (IV), abducens (VI)?
400
Electrical activity/twitch of a single muscle fiber vs. electrical activity of an entire motor unit.
What is fibrillation vs. fasciculation?
500
Clumsiness in rapid, alternating movements.
What is dysdiadochokinesia?
500
Tract that controls skeletal movements vs. tract that controls movements for speech and swallowing
What is corticospinal tract vs. corticonuclear tract?
500
At least 3 of the 4 components of the axial-limbic brain.
What are the autonomic nervous system, limbic lobe, hypothalamus, reticular formation?
500
Three of the four extrinsic tongue muscles innervated by the hypoglossal (XII) cranial nerve.
What are the genioglossis, hypoglossus, styloglossus and chondroglossus?
500
Tract that controls voluntary movement vs. tract that exerts subconscious, indirect, inhibitory control.
