Questions With Answers.
__________ facilitates movement by stimulating the muscles to contract.
A. Norepinephrine
B. Glutamate
C. Acetylcholine
D. GABA - ANSWER- C. Acetylcholine
Acetylcholine (ACh) is present in all motor neurons, causes muscles to contract, and is
involved in the production of muscle movements.
Generalized onset seizures always:
A. include a loss of consciousness.
C. include motor symptoms.
B. include a loss of consciousness and motor symptoms.
D. begin with an aura. - ANSWER- A. include a loss of consciousness.
There are two types of generalized onset seizures - generalized onset motor seizures
(also known as tonic-clonic seizures) and generalized onset non-motor seizures (also
known as absence seizures). Both include a loss of consciousness but, as their names
suggest, only generalized onset motor seizures include motor symptoms. Although
auras are most associated with focal onset seizures, there is evidence that they occur
for some people with generalized onset seizures.
Which of the following treatments for alcohol use disorder causes nausea, vomiting,
dizziness, confusion, and other unpleasant symptoms when taken in conjunction with
alcohol?
A. disulfiram (Antabuse)
B. naltrexone (ReVia)
C. acamprosate (Campral)
D. topiramate (Topamax) - ANSWER- A. disulfiram (Antabuse)
Disulfiram causes nausea and vomiting, shortness of breath, tachycardia, throbbing
headache, weakness, dizziness, confusion, shortness of breath, and other unpleasant
symptoms when it is taken prior to alcohol consumption. Naltrexone and acamprosate
(answers B and C) are opioid antagonists: Naltrexone reduces the pleasurable effects
of and cravings for alcohol, while acamprosate just reduces cravings. Topiramate
(answer D) is an anti-seizure medication that is used off-label for the treatment of
alcohol use disorder and, like naltrexone, reduces alcohol cravings and the pleasurable
effects of alcohol.
, About _____ of patients with Parkinson's disease experience depression, which
____________________.
A. 50%; always has an onset after the emergence of motor symptoms
B. 50%; has an onset prior to the development of motor symptoms for some patients
C. 85%; always has an onset after the emergence of motor symptoms
D. 85%; has an onset prior to the development of motor symptoms for some patients -
ANSWER- B. 50%; has an onset prior to the development of motor symptoms for some
patients
About 50% of patients with Parkinson's disease experience depression at some time
during the course of the disease, with depressive symptoms preceding motor symptoms
for some patients.
Research has shown that drugs that block protein synthesis while acquiring new
information interfere with the formation of:
A. short-term and long-term memories.
B. long-term memories but not short-term memories.
C. remote long-term memories but not recent long-term memories.
D. long-term procedural memories but not long-term declarative memories. - ANSWER-
B. long-term memories but not short-term memories.
The studies have confirmed that the formation of long-term memories (but not short-
term memories) depends on structural changes that strengthen synapses and that
these structural changes depend on protein synthesis. Consequently, administration of
a drug that blocks protein synthesis during learning affects long-term memory but not
short-term memory.
Bilateral damage to the medial temporal lobe produces deficits in:
A. the comprehension and production of language.
B. the comprehension but not the production of language.
C. declarative memory.
D. procedural memory. - ANSWER- C. declarative memory.
The medial temporal lobe includes the hippocampus, parahippocampal cortex,
perirhinal cortex, and entorhinal cortex and is important for the formation of long-term
declarative (semantic and episodic) memories.
__________ processing is concept driven.
A. Top-down
B. Bottom-up
C. Parallel
D. Serial - ANSWER- A. Top-down
Top-down processing is concept-driven, while bottom-up processing is data driven. In
terms of perception, top-down processing begins with the brain's use of existing
