CBIS LATEST 2026 EXAM QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
GUARANTEE A+
✔✔binocular vision - ✔✔how the eyes are working together; deficits result in double
vision
✔✔biopsychosocial model - ✔✔a model of human behavior that takes into
consideration biological, cognitive-affective, social interpersonal, social institutional, and
cultural factors
✔✔blood-brain barrier - ✔✔A mechanism that prevents certain harmful susbstances
from entering the brain but allows others to cross. Protective system at the vascular
level
✔✔Brain hypothesis - ✔✔the idea that the brain is the source of behavior and overall
conscious experience
✔✔Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) - ✔✔a protein in the neurotrophin family of
growth factors that promotes neurogenesis
✔✔Broca's area - ✔✔located in the lower portion of the motor cortex in the left frontal-
temporal lobe controlling muscles of the face
✔✔Brown-Sequard Syndrome - ✔✔Damage to half of spinal cord; loss of pain and
temperature sensation on contralateral side of body; Loss of proprioception and
discriminatory touch on ipsilateral side of body.
✔✔CAGE questionnaire - ✔✔a 4-question test for problem drinking used frequently in
medical settings:
✔✔catatonia - ✔✔a symptom of mental illness in which there is rigidity of muscle tone,
sometimes in odd positions, and a complete lack of responsiveness to stimuli despite
consciousness
✔✔cauda equina - ✔✔refers to the nerves that project out from the bottom of the SC,
beginning in the lumbar region, and continuing through the sacral region
✔✔Causes of fatigue questionnaire - ✔✔12-item instrument document the extent to
which a broad range of physical and mental activities may cause fatigue on a 5-point
scale
✔✔Cellulitis - ✔✔localized skill infection that is warm, red, swollen, and tender; fever,
chills, and swollen glands may be present and the area may get larger
, ✔✔Central Cord Syndrome - ✔✔weakness and numbness in usually the upper
extremities and is often accompanied by bowel and bladder incontinence
✔✔central sensitization - ✔✔Increased responsiveness of nociceptive neurons in the
CNS to their normal or subthreshold afferent input.
✔✔Central Sleep Apnea (CSA) - ✔✔respiratory system decreases or stops for brief
periods and is usually associated with decreased oxygen in the blood; may be related to
changes in feedback loop from lung to brain

hour cycle
✔✔cisterns - ✔✔areas of separation of the pia mater and arachnoid mater that are filled
with CSF
✔✔Clonus - ✔✔Involuntary, rhythmic, muscle contractions caused by lesions in UMN
✔✔cognitive distance - ✔✔the presence of unequal, unrelated. or contrasting thoughts
and understanding that frequently results in increased and excessive mental stress and
discomfort
✔✔cognitive skill memory - ✔✔memory for procedures necessary to win a game or
solve a problem
✔✔Common Data Elements (CDE) - ✔✔specific standards for data being captured in
the neurological research community to standardize data collection and to facilitate data
sharing
✔✔Common Law - ✔✔body of laws developed from court decisions
✔✔Community enfranchisement - ✔✔the extent to which the person feels he or she has
options and control over participation, feels a part of the community and feels valued
✔✔compensatory - ✔✔based on premise of adaptability; a form of cognitive rehab
designed to minimize effects of deficits and recover a degree of function by developing
