Neurophysiology — Flashcards

Lesion of the _____ (midbrain) results in reduced levels of arousal and wakefulness (i.e. coma)

Associative learning is linked to _____ and cerebellum

In _____ rigidity, if the anterior surface of cerebellum is removed the extensor rigidity is exaggerated

In presynaptic facilitation, the _____ released at the axoaxonal ending increases the intraneuronal cAMP levels

Effects of Brainstem Transections: Complete transection of the mid-pons with the vagi _____ will lead to: Regular breathing

The spinocerebellar tracts carry unconscious _____ input from the ipsi-lateral muscle spindles and GTOs to the cerebellum

The area postrema (chemoreceptor trigger zone) contains _____ receptors which are activated by substance P

Lesions that involve the _____ cerebellum generally result in bi-lateral motor deficits affecting truncal and proximal musculature

_____ cells inhibit deep nuclei of the cerebellum.

In the indirect basal ganglia pathway, the neurons of the subthalamic nucleus lead to _____ of neurons of the globus pallidus internus
