Test Bank For Fitzgerald's Clinical Neuroanatomy and Neuroscience, 8th Edition
1. A 56-year-old man with long-standing hypertension presents to the emergency
department with right-sided weakness. When you examine his eyes, his left eye
appears to have lateral gaze weakness, with the eye pointing “down and out.” In
addition, the pupil is dilated. The most likely location of his lesion is the
a. left motor cortex, including the frontal eye fields.
b. left posterior limb of internal capsule.
*c. left cerebral peduncle.
d. left pyramid.
2. A loss of neurons in which of the following structures is the primary cause of
difficulty in initiating movements?
a. Globus pallidus
*b. Substantia nigra
c. Putamen
d. Nucleus accumbens
e. Caudate
3. A patient presents to her primary physician with weakness on one side of her
face. When asked to wrinkle her brow she is able to do so without any difficulty. The
lesion most likely involves
a. trigeminal motor nucleus.
b. facial nerve.
*c. corticobulbar tract.
d. corticocerebellar tract.
4. A 56-year-old man presents to the emergency department concerned about the
recent onset of weakness in his right hand. He is a smoker and has a history of high
blood pressure. On examination, you note that he has difficulty in performing fine
movements with his right hand as well as mild weakness of muscles on his right
lower face. The most likely site of his lesion is in the
a. right motor cortex.
*b. left posterior limb of the internal capsule.
c. right putamen.
d. left middle cerebellar peduncle.

7. Which nuclei are involved in the acquisition of new memories?
a. Caudate
b. Subthalamic
c. Ventral posterolateral
*d. Septal
8.
Patients who have experienced serious carbon monoxide intoxication may exhibit
athetosis—sinuous, writhing movements of the extremities and trunk. Degeneration
in which structures in the figure leads to athetosis?
a. 1
b. 2
c. 3
d. 4
*e. 5
9. A patient presents with loss of vision. Examination of his retina and optic nerves
with an ophthalmoscope (funduscopic examination) are normal, and his pupils
constrict appropriately in response to a light stimulus. Where is his lesion likely
located?
a. Parietal lobe
b. Temporal lobe
*c. Occipital lobe
d. Insular lobe

10.
Which of the following structures in the figure can be viewed as a regulated relay of
information between the brainstem and cortex?
a. 1
b. 2
*c. 3
d. 4
e. 5
11. The limbic system provides the fundamental basis for emotional function, and it
provides the basis for determination of the subjective value of perceptions,
memories, and plans. Which structure receives input from the anterior nucleus of the
thalamus and contributes to emotional function?
*a. Cingulate gyrus
b. Precentral gyrus
c. Heschl’s gyrus
d. Inferior temporal gyrus
12. A chronic alcoholic presents to your clinic with confusion and amnesia. He has a
history of several hospitalizations for Wernicke’s encephalopathy, which is caused
by thiamine deficiency. To be more certain about what is causing his amnesia, you
obtain an MRI study. MRI shows degeneration of which structure?
a. Superchiasmatic nucleus
*b. Mammillary bodies
c. Red nucleus
d. Amygdala
