Select the proper order of olfaction.

Unlike the other senses, the olfactory system does not synapse in the Thalamus.

The Primary Olfactory Cortex connects directly to the Amygdala.

Select the Secondary Olfactory Areas to which the Primary Olfactory Cortex connects.

Label the parts of the Hippocampal Formation

Label the Hippocampal Formation by Function

Which of the following are true regarding the Fornix?

[blank_start]Medial Temporal Lobe[blank_end] memory systems communicate with the Association Cortex mainly through [blank_start]bidirectional[blank_end] connections via the Entorhinal Cortex. [blank_start]Medial[blank_end] Diencephalic memory systems communicate with [blank_start]Medial[blank_end] Temporal Lobe memory systems through several pathways.

Which of the following are part of the Medial Temporal Lobe?

Which of the following are part of the Medial Diencephalon Memory Areas?

Input structures for the Medial Temporal Lobe include:

[blank_start]Declarative[blank_end] memory Conscious recollection of facts or experiences (events) [blank_start]Nondeclarative[blank_end] memory Subconscious learning of skills, habits, and other acquired behaviors

“Amnesia” is typically used to describe [blank_start]declarative[blank_end] memory loss. Selective loss of [blank_start]declarative[blank_end] memory is typical of bilateral medial temporal lobe or bilateral medial diencephalic lesions.

Which type of memory is more susceptible to a unilateral lesion?

Which type of memory is responsible for "the ability to hold a limited amount of information, or concept, briefly in awareness while a variety of cognitive operations are performed (involves dorsolateral prefrontal association cortex."

Which type of memory is tested by asking your patient to repeat back lists of digits/words, forward and backward?

Which type of memory can be tested by asking your patient to recall a list of words you gave them ~5 minutes ago?

Which type of memory can be tested by asking your patient to verify personal information such as stating an old address, school, or popular social events/people?

Which type(s) of memory can function despite significant lesions in the Medial Temporal or Medial Diencephalic Memory Systems?

Assuming an amnesia-inducing injury in 1953, use the timeline to differentiate between Anterograde and Retrograde Amnesia.

Following cardiac arrest, significant memory loss is common.

Deficiency of which of the following vitamins causes Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome?

Working in a hospital you encounter a pt with obvious signs of amnesia. Having learned a little bit about memory loss in your Neuroscience class, you perform tests for recent and remote memory loss. The pt fails both. He also keeps asking if the Spurs game will be on TV tonight and its getting rather annoying. The following morning you bump into the pt walking in the hallway. He tells you all about how the Spurs crushed the Mavericks last night. Of course that isn't surprising, but it does seem odd that he can remember it. You perform your memory tests again and find no deficits. What type of Amnesia was this?

Lesion of the Amygdala results in excessive feelings of anxiety, fear, panic, and aggression.

Which condition is related to abnormalities in dopamine?

Serotonin plays a role in which of these conditions?

Benzodiazephines, like Lorazepam and Xanax, are used to treat which of the following conditions?

An increase in noradrenergic and serotonergic transmitter systems accompanies which of the following conditions?

Deficits in noradrenergic and serotonergic NT systems and decreased global activity in frontal lobes and the cerebral cortex are characteristic of which of the following conditions?

The video of Charlie Sheen was used to demonstrate symptoms of schizophrenia.
