- Neuroscience Basal Ganglia and Cerebellum 1) Describe the basic anatomy of the basal ganglia and cerebellar circuits and theirrole in the refinement of movement 2) Know the basic anatomy of these structures and list the inputs to the basal ganglia Please provide pictures with your explanation. This should help me prepare for an upcoming exam. I need to understand what is going and I'm a visual person!!arrow_forwardYou see a patient who has Guillian-Barre Syndrome, a disorder where the body destroys Schwann cells. What do you hypothesize happens to the patient's knee-jerk reflex? It will be decreased because saltatory conduction won't occur It will be exaggerated because the patient will experience increased sensitivity in the dorsal root ganglia. It will be exaggerated because conduction velocity in the multipolar neuron is increased It will be decreased because the spinal cord has decreased white matter.arrow_forwardThe following event received worldwide attention in 1962: A boy playing in a train yard fell under a train, and his right arm was cut off cleanly by the wheels. Surgeons reattached the arm, sewing nerves and vessels back together. The surgery proceeded very well. The arm immediately regained its blood supply, yet the boy could not move the limb or feel anything in it for months. Explain why it took longer to reestablish innervation than circulation.arrow_forward
- Draw a reflex arc in place in the nervous system (recall Figure 12.11). Would the reflex still function if the neurons in the sensory ganglia were destroyed?arrow_forwardAs Harry was falling off a ladder, he reached out and grabbed a tree branch with his hand. His overstretched upper limb became weak and numb. What major nervous structure had he injured?arrow_forwardCoordination and timing of movements and balance are functions of which of the following brain structures? a- basal ganglia b- motor cortex c- midbrain motor centers d- cerebellumarrow_forward
- Patients with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome (UWS) will often reflexively respond to visual and auditory stimuli. Where in the brain are the centers for these reflexes located? Explain how this phenomenon relates to the unaffected parts of their brain involved in sensory input.arrow_forwardIf a human suffers a hand amputation as an adult, what will happen to the area of the somatosensory cortex that previously received information from the lost hand? The projections from the hand will still be there, but will be inactive. The projections from the hand will die, and that area of the cortex will be empty. Projections from the face and neighboring limb will expand to control that cortical area. That cortical area will die.arrow_forwardTaylor accidentally dips his fingers into a cup filled with steaming hot coffee. He immediately withdraws his hand and then exclaims “ouch!”What is the correct order of the nervous system structures involved in the scenario described above? Select one: a. sensory neuron, effector, motor neuron, interneuron b. motor neuron, receptor, sensory neuron, effector c. receptor, sensory neuron, interneuron, motor neuron d. sensory neuron, interneuron, effector, motor neuronarrow_forward
- Of the following, which are in the hindbrain, which in the midbrain, and which in the forebrain: basal ganglia, cerebellum, hippocampus, hypothalamus, medulla, pituitary gland, pons, substantia nigra, superior and inferior colliculi, tectum, tegmentum, thalamus?arrow_forwardThe sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous systey B: transmits action potentials toward the central nervous system.C: stimulates glands to release hormones.D: stimulates muscle contractions.E: does not involve sensory receptors.arrow_forwardHalfway up the stairs, you stepped on something extremely sharp and withdrew your foot in pain. You hopped around on one foot, rubbing the other to ease the pain, and then sat on the sofa. This incident is a simple event and may have happened to you. In terms of the neural pathways, this reaction requires a complex neural net. Explain what happened?arrow_forward
