harder to breathe, so the EEG then has ______ ________
angiography - ANSWER_________ is x-ray with contrast media
anterograde - ANSWER__________ amnesia is loss of memory for periods of time
following accident

EEG at the therapeutic levels?

resembling bird flapping wings
ataxia - ANSWER_____________ is a lack of voluntary coordination of muscles,
including gait
benzodiazepine - ANSWERAtivan (Lorazepam) is classified as a _____________
abnormal background; slow variant spike-wave complexes. Twitch and stare but without
LOC - ANSWERHow is atypical absence different?
uncus of temporal lobe - ANSWERWhere would a seizure originate from if there was an
unpleasant olfactory aura?
axon hillock - ANSWERWhere is the site of action potential generation?
Bancaud's phenomenon - ANSWERWith __________ _________, there is unilateral
loss of reactivity of a normal rhythm and initially was described in the context of the
alpha rhythm. It should be considered a pathological finding only when associated with
other more definite abnormalities, such as slowing. Side lacking "blocking" or alpha
attenuation with EO is abnormal
Basal Ganglia - ANSWER________ _________ is a collection of neuronal masses/gray
matter. Includes caudate nucleus, putamen, & globus pallidus. Support fine coordination
for locomotion, movements fine and gross, balance, posture, muscle tone. Important for
learning non-declarative habits, procedures, patterns of behavior. Disruption of function
causes rigidity and losses in coordination (Parkinson's)
