Clonus is due to sustained hyperactivity of _____ motor neurons.

_____ are sudden, jerky eye movements that occur as the gaze shifts from one object to another, performed to bring image of an object quickly on the fovea.

_____ is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of the CNS

The _____ and substantia nigra pars compacta are responsible for the synthesis of dopamine

_____ motoneuron lesions may cause increased tone

In _____ rigidity, the brainstem and rubrospinal pathways are unregulated due to loss of effect of corticospinal tract

In both the direct and indirect basal ganglia pathways, neurons from the cerebral cortex lead to _____ of neurons of the striatum

Semantic declarative memory involves _____ cortex and temporal cortex

_____ rigidity is caused due to complete transection at brainstem between superior and inferior colliculus
