FUNDAMENTALS OF HUMAN
NEUROPSYCHOLOGY EXAM
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
VERIFIED 2025/2026.
Occipital lobes - ANS posterior pole of the cerebral hemispheres
parietal-occipital sulcus - ANS distinguishes occipital lobe from the parietal lobe
ventral surface of the brain - ANS occipital cortex extends forward to merge with medial and
ventral temporal cortices
V4 and V8 - ANS color regions
Brodmann - ANS divided monkey cortex into three regions
human maps - ANS based on non-invasive imaging such as fMRI
monkey maps - ANS based on anatomy and connections
Fred Previc - ANS upper fields are more specialized for visual search and recognition, the
lower fields are more specialized for visuomotor guidance

, upper fields - ANS specialized for visual search and recognition
lower fields - ANS specialized for visuomotor guidance
V1 - ANS complete laminar organization
motion vs. recognition - ANS vision evolved first for motion, not for recognition
simple organisms - ANS can detect light
vision acts to guide movement - ANS most primitive form of vision for care
recognition - ANS human vision can be understood without reference to it
system knowing what an object is - ANS includes the flow of visual information from area V1
to the temporal lobe in the ventral stream
system controlling the visual guidance of movements - ANS includes the flow of information
from area V1 to the parietal lobe in the dorsal stream
dorsal stream - ANS dorsal stream be thought of as a set of systems for the on-line visual
control of action
Milner and Goodale - ANS predominant characteristic of the neurons in posterior parietal
regions is that they are active during a combination of visual stimulation and associated
behavior
Milner and Goodale - ANS posterior parietal neurons can be characterized as an interface
between analysis of the visual world and motor action taken on it
