Exam 3: Neuroanatomy and Development

Of the following choices,the most anterior portion of the frontal lobes-the prefrontal cortex-is most critical to

Which of the following is NOT a staining technique used to visualize tissue structure?

Choose six of the following eight brain regions.For each region,briefly describe its location in the brain and one of its functions.Draw a picture to accompany your answer. •Frontal lobe •Parietal lobe, •Temporal lobe. •Occipital lobe., •Basal ganglia •Hippocampus •Amygdala •Cerebellum

Parts of the brain where metabolic activity is relatively high are characterized by

The primary visual cortex,or V1,is located in

All of the following are advantages of a folded cerebral cortex EXCEPT

The morphology of the brain of Albert Einstein revealed an unusual Sylvian fissure-the division that separates the ________ lobe from the ________ lobes.

This type of early cell line is the precursor to the cells that will compose the nervous system.

All of the following terms refer to the same cortical region that processes visual input EXCEPT

The innermost layers of cortex contain

________ refers to the process of rapid cell division that occurs early in development of the nervous system.

All of the structures listed here are major components of the basal ganglia EXCEPT the

The primary auditory cortex is organized using a tonotopic map,which means that there is an orderly representation of

The volume of cortex that is not sensory or motor has traditionally been termed ________ cortex.

What are the advantages of a cerebral cortex with gyri and sulci? Why might the human cerebral cortex be more heavily folded than those of other mammals?

The distinction between the terms gross neuroanatomy and fine neuroanatomy lies in whether

If you removed a cell that emerged EARLY from the ventricular zone at the early stages of corticogenesis (prior to its migration),transplanted it into the brain of a developing host animal that was in the LATE stages of corticogenesis,and allowed the cell complete migration,you would probably find it in layer ________ of the host cortex.

Although the primary somatosensory cortex ultimately processes information about both ________ and ________,information about these two sensations is carried there through separate neural pathways.

The neocortex typically contains ________ cortical layers,with ________ typically being the input layer.

The visual cortex is able to remap to process information about touch and audition in blind people.
