Question 4 of 21

1

Explanation

Question 8 of 21

1

The frontal lobe

Select one of the following:

  • Spans 1/8 of the total cortex in humans

  • Is separated to the temporal lobe by the postcentral sulcus

  • Is subdivided into primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex and the prefrontal cortex

  • Is separated to the parietal lobe by the precentral sulcus

  • Greatly enlarged in the course of evolution in parallel to the development of motor abilities

Explanation

Question 9 of 21

1

Which of the following statements is correct?

Select one of the following:

  • Idiopathic epilepsies commonly have a single-gene inheritance

  • Symptomatic epilepsies never have a genetic background.

  • Rolando-epilepsy of childhood is a symptomatic epilepsy syndrome.

  • Frontal lobe epilepsies may be purely genetic

  • The correct diagnosis of epilepsy is made from the EEG.

Explanation

Question 10 of 21

1

One of the following statements is wrong – Which one? “Disconnection syndromes”

Select one of the following:

  • may refer to interruption of intrahemispheric as well as interhemispheric fiber tracts

  • are functional deficits caused by focal lesions of fiber tracts that connect cortical brain areas

  • may result from transection of the corpus callosum (so-called “split-brain” operations)

  • are characterized by anatomical lesion sites (and therefore disconnection symptoms might refer to different cognitive or neuronal systems)

  • means that two cortical areas are linked together irregularly (= dysconnection) by aberrant fiber tracts

Explanation

Question 11 of 21

1

The model of cognitive control proposed by Miller and Cohen suggests...

Select one of the following:

  • the existence of a “supervisory attentional system (SAS)”.

  • that emotion-related somatosensory patterns facilitate decision-making (“somatic marker hypothesis”).

  • that inhibitory control may be the underlying mechanisms of behavioural control.

  • the existence of a prefrontal “executive committee” for perception, working memory, attention, long-term memory, motor control and thinking.

  • that the prefrontal cortex exerts top-down-control by providing an excitatory signal that biases processing in other brain systems towards task-relevant information, memory or motor output (“biased competition model”).

Explanation

  • The cornu ammonis has filter function for downstream structures.

  • Seizure-like events in in vitro models can be induced by lowering of sodium in the artificial cerebrospinal fluid.
