Neurophysiology — Flashcards

Effects of Various Lesions and Brainstem Transections:Complete transection mid-pons with vagi _____ will lead to: apneusis

One control center for horizontal gaze is located in the _____, which is responsible for ipsi-lateral gaze

_____ neurons within the striatum stimulate the indirect basal ganglia pathway

_____ fibres from the pontine nuclei use glutamate as their neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitter receptors that act through _____ are called metabotropic receptors.

_____ bladder results from lesions above the sacral spinal cord levels

The _____nergic neurons in posterior hypothalamus, on stimulation, induce arousal.

Lesions to the _____ may result in:- deficits in verbal memory (ex. word recognition) if the dominant lobe is affected- deficits in nonverbal memory (ex. musical ability) if the nondominant lobe is affected

The _____ tract carries information for pressure, vibration, fine (discriminative) touch, and proprioception

In _____ rigidity, the upper and lower limbs show extension due to loss of excitation by corticospinal and rubrospinal fibres on flexor alpha-motor neurons of spinal cord; and corticoreticular fibres on reticular formation of medulla.
