### Question 1
A patient has experienced a seizure affecting the left temporal lobe. The family reports that
the patient exhibited repetitive lip smacḳing and hand rubbing followed by a period of
great fear and insecurity. They have experienced which type of seizure?
a) Focal seizure without impairment of consciousness or awareness
b) Focal seizure with impairment of consciousness or awareness
c) Generalized tonic/clonic seizure
Correct Answer:
b) Focal seizure with impairment of consciousness or awareness
Verified Explanation:
Focal seizures with impairment of consciousness or awareness, previously termed
"complex partial seizures," commonly originate in the temporal lobe. They are
characterized by automatisms (such as repetitive movements including lip smacḳing and
hand rubbing) and often include behavioral changes—such as transient feelings of fear or
insecurity. These symptoms indicate involvement of the limbic system and impairment of
consciousness, distinguishing them from simple focal seizures, which do not affect
awareness. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures, by contrast, involve both hemispheres of the
brain and result in loss of consciousness with bilateral motor activity.

### Question 2
The sense of vision is controlled by which cranial nerve?
, a) CN II
b) CN III
c) CN IV
d) CN VI
Correct Answer:
a) CN II (Optic nerve)
Verified Explanation:
The optic nerve (cranial nerve II) is responsible for transmitting visual information from
the retina to the brain. Light entering the eye stimulates photoreceptor cells in the retina,
and this sensory input is carried via the optic nerve, crosses partially at the optic chiasm,
then proceeds to the primary visual cortex in the occipital lobe. Other cranial nerves (III, IV,
VI) coordinate eye movements but do not convey visual sensory input.

repetitively rubbing their right thumb and forefinger. This is an example of what physical
manifestation of the disease?
a) Pill-rolling
b) Cogwheeling
