voltage/alpha diminish, theta then delta What EEG changes would you see w/ Alzheimer's?
intrude w/ sharps, asymmetries may
develop, less sleep signs
amoxycillin Which anti-biotic can cause seizures which are unresponsive to AED's?
Ampere What is the unit of current?
olfactory; gustatory Amygdalar temp lobe sz can have ___________ and__________hallucinations
ALS has normal EEG until weakness makes it harder to breathe, so the EEG then has
generalized slowing (hypoxia)
______ ________
angiography _______is x-ray with contrast media
anterograde ________amnesia is loss of memory for periods of time following accident
increased theta/beta Antihistamines commonly cause what changes in the EEG at the therapeutic levels?
Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), haloperidol (haldol), clozapine (clozaril), and
Antipsychotic drugs
risperidone are examples of what kind of drug?
______is the inability to perform purposeful movement though no muscular or
apraxia
sensory disturbance is present
between the third to fourth ventricle Where is the aqueduct of sylvius located?
Area 6 Which Brodmann's area is the premotor area?
Which Brodmann's area is the primary visual area (most forms walls of deep
Area 17
calcarine sulcus)?
Area 18 and Area 19 Which two Brodmann's area is the visual association areas?
Area 41 Which Brodmann's area is the primary auditory area?
________is a congenital anomaly when the hindbrain is displaced through the foramen
Arnold-Chiari
magnum.
________is a flapping tremor of hand when wrist extended, resembling bird flapping
aterixis
wings
ataxia _________is a lack of voluntary coordination of muscles, including gait
benzodiazepine Ativan (Lorazepam) is classified as a _____________
abnormal background; slow variant spike- How is atypical absence different?
wave complexes. Twitch and stare but
without LOC
uncus of temporal lobe Where would a seizure originate from if there was an unpleasant olfactory aura?
axon hillock Where is the site of action potential generation?
With_____________, there is unilateral loss of reactivity of a normal rhythm and
initially was described in the context of the alpha rhythm. It should be considered a
Bancaud's phenomenon
pathological finding only when associated with other more definite abnormalities,
such as slowing. Side lacking "blocking" or alpha attenuation with EO is abnormal
_____________is a collection of neuronal masses/gray matter. Includes caudate
nucleus, putamen, & globus pallidus. Support fine coordination for locomotion,
Basal Ganglia movements fine and gross, balance, posture, muscle tone. Important for
learning non-declarative habits, procedures, patterns of behavior. Disruption of
function causes rigidity and losses in coordination (Parkinson's)
