Question

Benson has a disease that leads to slow movement. A neurologist exams him thoroughly and attributes this to the slow firing, or delayed action potential progression, in the neurons associated with the primary motor cortex of the brain. What is likely to have degenerated? 1. A lesion here will likely result in one having difficulty in forming coherent sentences. 2. What brain region did zolpidem inhibit to arouse the minimal conscious person in the case discussed in class? 3. . Mike is a roofer who wakes up at 6 am every weekday. Due to his busy schedule he forgets to pay his electric bill. WE energies turns off the power on Thursday 11:59PM after he is asleep. a. What time would you expect him to wake up on Friday morning? What do we call this process? am n .es, w?ef v?PS ode?m ne What brain region controls this? n What part of the brain helps to direct the gross motor coordination or movements? . Cere be le What part of the brain is responsible for tactile sensation? What type of amnesia is applicable if a person has an accident and can form new emotional memories, but cannot recall information from childhood? Where would these memories be stored in the brain?

Explanation / Answer

41.causes parkinson disease-degenaration of nervous system associated with destruction of brain cells which produce dopamine

Explanation:primary motor cortex associated with motor functions ,destruction of substantia nigra of basal ganglia causes tremor,slowness of movements,ataxia,delayed action potential

2.Aphasia-is inability to comprehend and formulate the language due to damage or stroke to specific brain regions,when lesion occurs in thalamus having difficulty in forming coherent sentences

3.zolpidem is a sedative given to help with sleep onset that a person in coma respond to zolpidem with increased consciousness

Zolpidem activates neurotransmitter GABA it is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain stem

4.a.wakeup at 6am

b.amnesia

c.limbic system controls memory and it is associated with thalamus and hippocampal formations and associated with medial portion of temporal lobe

5.cerebellum function is to coordinate motor and voluntary muscular movements and aldo involved in posture ,equilibrium and frontal lobes also involved in motor development

6.parietal lobe is involved in tactile sensation ,it is located between central sulcus and parieto occipital sulcus

7.retrograde amnesia in this can't recall information from childhood-limbic system controls memory and emotional status
