LATEST UPDATE
The areas responsible for language comprehension and production are
collectively named:
perisylvian area
Calculation is associated with:
Angular Gyrus
If you see a person whose speech muscles are affected by a flaccid dysarthria,
you would expect to find increased reflexes, weakness and resistance to passive
stretch in those muscles.
FALSE
When the substituted word is not a real word
Neologism
Hypokinetic dysarthria and hyperkinetic dysarthria are generally due to damage
in/to this structure
Basal Ganglia
A unilateral stroke to the sensorimotor areas would likely result in
Unilateral Upper Motorneuron Dysarthria (UUMN)
A lesion to the arcuate fasciculus and impaired ability to repeat, but intact ability
to produce and understand language is associated with
Conduction Aphasia
This degenerative condition causes a mixed flaccid and spastic dysarthria.
Characteristics include a strained-strangled voice and hypernasality. It has a
rapid time course (1-5 years from onset until death) and can have a 'bulbar' onset,
which is generally more debilitating
Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis
Effortful trials at speech with groping behaviors and inconsistent errors are
hallmarks of Apraxia of Speech
TRUE
This type of dyskinesia is slow and is a result of involuntary co-contraction of
antagonist muscles and is associated with Meige's Syndrome
dystonia
cerebellum
Dysmetria, terminal tremor, incoordination, and ataxia are associated with lesions
to the
Cerebellum
With regard to attention, the parietal lobes, especially on the right are thought to
mediate
Extrapersonal Space Attention
The cognitive and behavioral control area of the brain is referred to as the
Prefrontal Cortex (prefrontal network)
