Dr Paul Broca, a neurosurgeon in 1861, identified the area of expressive
speech by:

How does ECoG activity differ from scalp recorded EEG? (select all that apply)
-More sharply contoured morphology
-Lower amplitude when recording from the cortex directly
-Higher amplitude
-Onset decrement or attenuation usually not seen on scalp recordings because
it is so low amplitude it is not recorded through the scalp and skull ✔️Ans -
-More sharply contoured morphology
-Higher amplitude
-Onset decrement or attenuation usually not seen on scalp recordings because
it is so low amplitude it is not recorded through the scalp and skull
During surgery for an aortic arch dissection, the SSEP's from the lower
extremities remain stable, EEG shows no change but there is a gradual loss of
the SSEP and Tc-MEP from the left arm. What is the most likely etiology?
a. Left side spinal cord injury
b. Right cortical injury
c. Right brainstem injury
d. Occlusion of the left subclavian artery ✔️Ans - d. Occlusion of the left
subclavian artery

for a vertebral artery aneurysm?
a. Lower extremity SSEP
b. Brainstem auditory evoked potential
c. Surface EEG
d. Upper extremity SSEP ✔️Ans - c. Surface EEG
