Elon wants to find a way to prevent visitors to his factory and labs from remembering anything about what they've seen. He asks you to come up with a couple of ways of preventing the formation of declarative memories. Pretend you have no morals whatsoever and can be as invasive as you'd like. Which of the following techniques would be LEAST effective for this goal?

Following a stroke Dr. Z was unable to recognize the members of his family when shown their portrait. It was different when he was in their physical presence, because then if he heard them speak or saw them move in particular ways he could identify them. Where is the most likely site of brain damage? Question 3 options: A) Ventral pathway from V1 to the fusiform gyrus B) Ventral pathway from V1 to amygdala C) Dorsal pathway from V1 to motor cortex D) Primary visual (V1) cortex
In PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?
imagine that you are a neurologist. A patient has come to you with a cognitive deficit in their ability to name objects. Describe a brain activity recording technique you would use (e.g., PET, fMRI) and the brain area you would focus on (e.g., occipital lobe, temporal lobe) to determine if they have brain damage in an area that is important for this ability. You must name and describe the specific recording technique.

Which of the following would most likely result in the observation of relatively large and synchronous brainwaves (called alpha waves)? an electrode is placed over the auditory cortex while the person is relaxed an electrode is placed over the visual cortex while the person looks at relaxing scenes an electrode is placed over the auditory cortex while someone is speaking with the person an electrode is placed over the auditory cortex while the room is quiet 2. In your sensory systems, the first place in your cerebral cortex where information is processed is referred to as a __________ area. association secondardy primary top
I believe the answer is C I could use a second opinion.
Alzheimer’s disease is thought to cause a DECREASE in the amount of acetylcholine (ACH) being released into the synaptic cleft in specific parts of the brain. What would be a possible treatment for this disease? (So basically- what would be a possible way to increase the amount of ACH in the synaptic cleft?)
Baddeley, in his working memory model, proposed a system for rehearsing at the level of mental imagery "in the mind's eye" (and working memory) which he called the:
A neurosurgeon probes a person’s brain to map its functions. The person is awake and feels no pain during this procedure. As each area of the brain is probed, the person perceives a different sensation, as described in the table. Which structure (or lobe) of the brain is being stimulated in each scenario? [You do not need to explain why. Just state the lobe or structure] a) “I can hear a radio playing” _____________________ b) “I can see a flash of bright light” _____________________ c) “I can smell the flowers in my garden” ______________________ d) “I remember a happy moment from my childhood” ____________________ e) “I can feel pain in my foot” ____________________ f) “My finger just twitched” ____________________
Which of the following is correct about the MTL system? a. medial temporal lobe areas receive inputs mainly from frontal association areas b. medial temporal lobe areas receive inputs from many association areas in the neocortex c. according to the “standard model,” recent memory involves the medial temporal hippocampal system whereas remote memory involves amygdala connections with the MTL system d. according to the “standard model,” recent memory involves amygdala connections whereas remote memory involves the medial temporal hippocampal system e. Both A & C

An electrical signal applied to crystals so that they can deform d. Deformation of crystals to produce an electrical signal In EEG, T3 stands for: Select one: a. Temporal, left hemisphere b.

Dr. LaGuardia is a cognitive neuroscientist who is interested in the effect of brain concussions on the ability to recognize faces. He conducts a quasi-experimental study in which he examines football players before and after the regular season using the Benton Facial Recognition Test (a published, widely used measure of one’s ability to recognize faces) to compare those who received concussions to those who did not. He finds that players who had concussions during the regular season performed worse on the Benton Facial Recognition Test than did players who did not experience concussions. If Dr. LaGuardia had instead been interested in conducting a small-N design, which of the following might he have done? a. He would not have compared participants’ performance on the Facial Recognition Test to other groups. b. He would have collected fewer types of data. c. He would have likely collected other additional dependent measures. d. He would have likely selected a topic where he…
