### Neurological Case Study and Quiz#### Case Study:A 22-year-old man is brought to the emergency department 1 hour after being involved in a motor vehicle collision. Neurologic examination shows inaccurate finger-to-nose movements of the left upper extremity. He has an ataxic gait with a tendency to fall to the left. This patient most likely has a lesion in which of the following structures?### Quiz: Identifying the Lesion LocationSelect the most likely structure affected based on the patient's symptoms:1. **A) Cerebellar hemisphere on the left**2. **B) Cerebellar hemisphere on the right**3. **C) Corticospinal tract on the left**4. **D) Corticospinal tract on the right**5. **E) Vestibular semicircular canals on the left**6. **F) Vestibular semicircular canals on the right**Think about which structure would most likely cause the symptoms described (inaccurate finger-to-nose movements, ataxic gait, and a tendency to fall to one side) and choose the best answer.---This case study is designed to help you apply your understanding of neuroanatomy and the neurological consequences of trauma. Consider the role and function of each structure listed above before making your selection.

ataxic gait is the uncordinated walking movement. This may occur due to the damage in one of the…
