Question 2

Damage to that part of the brain known as Broca's area is likely to

Accepted Answer

Damage to Broca's area, located in the left hemisphere of the brain, is known to impair speech production and language processing. It is not associated with recognizing faces or paralysis on the left side of the body.

Question 3

Regarding psychoactive drugs,

Accepted Answer

The correct statements are that both the phenomenon of "tolerance" to and the symptoms of "withdrawal" from a psychoactive drug can be explained by the positive feedback effect of the drug on the production of the endogenous neurotransmitter/neuromodulator for which the drug is an agonist and that use of psychoactive drugs may result in physical dependence upon them. The statement that only drugs that bind to endorphin/enkephalin receptors are described as "psychoactive" is false.

Question 4

Which of the following best explains how the phenomenon of "tolerance" develops with use of psychoactive drugs over time?

Accepted Answer

ETolerance develops when the body adjusts to the presence of the drug, often through physiological changes. One such change is the inhibition of the production of endogenous (naturally occurring) neurotransmitters (D), as the body compensates for the artificial increase in neurotransmitter activity caused by the drug. Another change can be the up-regulation (increase in the number) of receptors for these neurotransmitters (E), as the body attempts to maintain normal function despite the presence of the drug.

Question 5

Symptoms of withdrawal when drug use is stopped

Accepted Answer

Symptoms of drug withdrawal can result from lower-than-normal secretion of neurotransmitters as the brain has adjusted to an increased level of the drug. These symptoms can be alleviated by taking a drug that interacts with the same receptor as the original drug, as it can help to normalize neurotransmitter levels and reduce withdrawal symptoms. Therefore, both choices A and C are correct, making choice D the best answer. Choice E is incorrect as it includes choice B, which is not true as withdrawal symptoms are physical and not just psychological.

Question 6

Anterograde amnesia is associated with damage to all of the following structures of the brain,except

Accepted Answer

The answer of Anterograde amnesia is associated with damage to...

Question 7

Damage to which of the following brain structures is most likely to result in difficulty in being able to remember meeting new people?

Accepted Answer

The hippocampus plays a vital role in the formation and consolidation of new memories, particularly in the declarative memory system, which is responsible for remembering facts and events. Damage to the hippocampus is associated with difficulty in forming new memories, including meeting new people.

Question 8

Which of the following statements regarding higher brain functions is true?

Accepted Answer

A person with damage only to Broca's area of the brain will understand spoken or written speech but will have difficulty speaking. This is because Broca's area is responsible for speech production, while comprehension of language is localized in Wernicke's area. Option B is incorrect because motor aphasia is associated with damage to Broca's area, not Wernicke's. Option C is also incorrect because damage to Wernicke's area is associated with difficulty understanding language, not recognizing faces. Option D and E are incorrect because only the statement in option A is true.

Question 12

A person with bilateral damage to the hippocampus will probably

Accepted Answer

Bilateral damage to the hippocampus leads to impairment of consolidation of declarative memory.

Question 13

Damage to that part of the brain known as Wernicke's area is likely to

Accepted Answer

Damage to Wernicke's area is associated with receptive aphasia, which impairs the comprehension of language. It does not cause difficulty in recognizing faces (A), impairment of procedural memory (B), impair one's ability to speak (D), or cause blindness (E).

Question 14

In most people,all of the following functions are lateralized to the left hemisphere except

Accepted Answer

The ability to recognize faces and read maps is actually lateralized to the right hemisphere, not the left. The other functions listed (arithmetic ability, reading and writing, and speaking) are typically lateralized to the left hemisphere.

Question 15

Bipolar disorders

Accepted Answer

Bipolar disorders involve both manic and depressive episodes, which is an exaggeration of normal changes in mood. The most effective treatments for bipolar disorder involve drugs that regulate the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine, rather than dopamine.

Question 16

About 3-5% of school-aged children are diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).This neurobehavioral problem is anatomically linked,primarily,to which area of dysfunction in the brain?

Accepted Answer

The answer of About 3-5% of school-aged children are diagnosed...

Question 17

Which of the following is an example of declarative memory?

Accepted Answer

Declarative memory is the memory of facts, data, and events. Recognition of a person's face and matching a name to it involves the memory of an event and is an example of declarative memory.

Question 18

When a person loses consciousness,working memory is interrupted and memories are abolished for all that happened for a variable period of time before the blow that caused unconsciousness.Why?

Accepted Answer

There was an interruption in the constant stream of neuron potentials to memory facilitation brain areas.

Question 19

Selective attention is facilitated,enhanced and improved by way of the _____ of the brain stem,which acts as the origin point of neurons which project to the cerebral cortex and release ________ neurotransmitter(s).

Accepted Answer

The locus coeruleus is known to play a significant role in selective attention and releases the neurotransmitter norepinephrine.

Question 20

Conceptual aphasia is a result of damage to

Accepted Answer

Conceptual aphasia, also known as semantic aphasia, is a type of aphasia that results from damage to Wernicke's area in the temporal lobe. This area is responsible for understanding language and assigning meaning to words and concepts. Damage to Wernicke's area can result in difficulty comprehending written or spoken language and difficulty with word retrieval and naming.
