Neuroanatomy
This portion of the brain deals with the movement and sensation of right side of body
Left Hemisphere
What do you mean by HIV?
Human Immunodeficiency Virus
This terms refers to when body’s immune system attacks its own tissues
Autoimmune
The umbrella term for neuroprogressive disorders
Dementia
This specific imaging technique exposes arteries in head and neck
Angiography
These transport nutrients oxygen and glucose from heart to the brain
Arteries
This is an impairment when there is a loss of recognition/awareness of part of body.
Asomatognosia
It is a systemic disorder associated with arthritis, fatigue, joint pain and swelling, and a skin rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
What portion of the brain does Dopamine neurons originate from?
Midbrain
Gold standard for identifying dysfunctional brain tissue
PET Scan
What is the possible aphasia type if there is a problem in the arcuate fasciculus?
Conduction Aphasia
As a result of this, the brain tissue becomes edematous and possibly demyelinated and subsequently develops white matter lesions as well as hemorrhages, hypoperfusion, and diminished cerebrovascular reserves
Encephalitis
It is the most common among European women
Multiple Sclerosis
Patients with this type of condition eventually develops cognitive deficits, parkinsonism, and behavioral difficulties
Primary Progressive Aphasia
What does Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging detects?
blood O2 levels in the brain
The 4 types of heart valves
tricuspid, pulmonary, mitral and aortic valves
Differentiate Ischemic Stroke from Hemorrhagic Stroke
●Ischemic – less fatal, poor prognosis
●Hemorrhagic – more fatal, better prognosis
In a patient with Multiple Sclerosis, the immune system attacks this:
Myelin Sheaths
What are the cognitive problems for patients with Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia
Change in affect
What's the difference between structural neuroimaging and functional neuroimaging?
Structural imaging directly allows you to view the brain structure
Functional imaging indirectly allows you to identify brain problems through electrical or metabolic measures
This portion of the brain processes sensory info that has to do with taste, temp, and touch
Parietal Lobe
What do you mean by watershed areas?
These are regions of brain that simultaneously receive blood supply from 2 arteries.
What are the possible ALD problems of a patient with MS?
Cognitive impairments
Discuss the difference between beta-amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles
●Plaques – BA leftover fragment of larger proteins, cluster together -> toxic effect on neurons and to disrupt cell-to-cell communications, form amuloid plaques + other cellular debris
●Tangles – tau proteins internal support and transport carry nutrients and other essential materials. Change shape and organize themselves into structures called neurofibrillary tangles – disrupt transport system and are toxic to cells
How will Infarct and Hemorrhage differ in view during CT scan?
○Infarct – decreased tissue density
○Hemorrhage – increased density
