Jacqueline is six years old, and learns lots of new things in her kindergarten class. The past
three weeks, her teachers have helped her use scissors every day to grow her abilities with
them and work towards cutting more complex shapes. This type of learning would be most
hindered by damage to which brain region?
basal ganglia
occipitotemporal cortex
dorsomedial thalamus
cerebellum

- Peyton felt strange when she awoke one morning. She could not hold a pen in her right hand when trying to write an entry in her diary, and her muscles were noticeably weaker on the right side of her body. Additionally, her husband noticed that she was slurring her speech, so he took her to the emergency room. What does the ER physician suspect has occurred? Where in the brain might the physician suspect that abnormal activity or perhaps a lesion is located, and why?arrow_forwardWhich ANS division produces the most generalizedeffects? How does this happen?arrow_forwardRecall that CSF is not stagnant: it flows around the brain and spinal cord. Review the path of CSF by completing the sentences below: Cerebrospinal fluid is formed when plasma-like fluid exits capillaries and crosses ependymal cells into the ventricles of the brain, in regions called (1)_____. CSF then flows from the (2)_____ into the (3)_____, through the (4)_____ into the (5)_____, and down into the (6)_____ or out into the (7)_____ — within which it circulates around the brain and spinal cord. CSF then exits this region through (8)_____ into (9)_____, which collect blood and "used" CSF and drain it from the brain.arrow_forward
