Axons that carry information about pain and temperature form the:

The major motor pathway that relays signals from the primary motor cortex to the spinal cord is the:

The flocculus of the cerebellum is involved in:

Which of the following structures is NOT part of the indirect pathway in the basal ganglia?

Compare and contrast the roles of the posterior and anterior spinothalamic tracts.

Cellular recordings from the globus pallidus internal in patients with Parkinson disease show:

Damage to the primary somatosensory motor cortex results in:

The sensory and motor cortices are:

Which of the following sequences is in the correct order from largest to smallest representation in the motor homunculus?

Walter Hess's classic experiments on stimulating the brainstem in animals revealed that the brainstem controls aspects of:

Which of the following is NOT a shared characteristic between Tourette syndrome and Huntington disease?

In a study by Pons and colleagues, monkeys' arm nerves were cut, thereby depriving the somatosensory cortex of sensory input from the arm. Several years later, when the researchers mapped the monkeys' somatosensory homunculus, they discovered that the arm region of the homunculus:
