Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • Epilepsy is a rare condition.
  • Epilepsy is characterized by epileptic seizures occurring at least once a day.
  • Epilepsy is in the majority of patients genetically determined.
  • Epilepsy with generalized seizures needs to be treated by hippocampectomy
  • Epilepsy in many cases responds well to antiepileptic drugs.

Question 2

Question
The executive system …. A - is concerned with the co-ordination of other cognitive resources. B - is needed when automatic psychological processes would not be sufficient, in cases of novel situations. C - is a brain function charged with implementing, or executing, the law D - Damage to the system can have a wide range of effects in different domains, for example in social interaction, executive memory and abstract thinking. E - specifically describes the execution of motor commands
Answer
  • B C and E
  • A B and D
  • A B and C
  • A D and E
  • B C and D

Question 3

Question
What does the term working memory refers to?
Answer
  • the ability to remember action sequences of a learned movement
  • the ability to maintain and manipulate task relevant information and to block distraction in the presence of interference
  • the ability to remember information about one’s autobiographical history
  • the ability to acquire and store information for a long time
  • the ability to store work related information

Question 4

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • Absence seizures originate in the frontal lobe (fronto-orbital part)
  • Visual symptoms at the onset of a seizure indicate temporal lobe seizure origin
  • Fear may be the clinical manifestation of an epileptic aura
  • Simple partial seizures are characterized by loss of conciousness
  • Complex partial seizures always indicate frontal lobe epilepsy

Question 5

Question
Bipolar disorder
Answer
  • 1. is characterized by predominant delusions of persecution.
  • is a psychiatric disorder with low heritability.
  • is one of the most frequent psychiatric disorders
  • can be treated with antipsychotics.
  • . is five times more frequent in women than in men.

Question 6

Question
The lifetime prevalence of anxiety disorders is about:
Answer
  • 20%
  • 5%
  • 70%
  • 50%
  • 1%

Question 7

Question
One of the following statements is wrong – Which one? Alexia without agraphia is a disconnection syndrome typically with the following characteristics
Answer
  • a lesion in the splenium
  • a left hemispheric lesion
  • a visual field defect
  • patients can´t read but write
  • language difficulties

Question 8

Question
The frontal lobe
Answer
  • 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

Question 9

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • 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.

Question 10

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

Question 11

Question
The model of cognitive control proposed by Miller and Cohen suggests...
Answer
  • 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”).

Question 12

Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
Answer
  • Mossy fibers are axons of CA3 primary cells.
  • Aberrant mossy fiber sprouting is one hypothesis for epileptogenesis in limbic epilepsies.
  • 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.
  • During seizure-like events in vitro light transmission of the tissue is decreased

Question 13

Question
Selective serotonine reuptake inhibitors
Answer
  • have been proven to be ineffective in moderate depression
  • are more effective in carriers of the 5-HTTLPR L-Allele.
  • are more effective than serotonine-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors.
  • should not be used in patients with suicidal ideation
  • are most effective in bipolar depression

Question 14

Question
Which of the following is not a typical somatic symptom of depression?
Answer
  • Chest tightness
  • Knee pain
  • Menstrual irregularities
  • Back pain
  • Headaches

  • believes of a familiar counterpart being a stranger that pretends to be a familiar person
  • will rapidly slide into a state of personal disrepair, poor personal hygiene and nutrition
  • shows in general reduced interest and motivation
  • suffers from the inability to develop new goals and strategies

  • B and E are correct
  • A, C and D are correct
  • A, B and D are correct
