Neurophysiology — Flashcards

Long-term _____ is classically seen in the hippocampus

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

_____ of the dorsomedial nucleus of the hypothalamus results in savage behavior and obesity

Neurotransmitter receptors that act through _____ are called metabotropic receptors.

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

In the indirect basal ganglia pathway, inhibition of the globus pallidus externus leads to _____ of neurons of the subthalamic nucleus

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

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

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.

_____ bladder results from lesions above the sacral spinal cord levels
