Chapter 14, Problem 29RQ
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The part of the brain involved in the testing of the intoxication levels in a person who was driving a vehicle.
Introduction:
An officer has stopped a person driving a vehicle under suspicion charges. The officer conducted the cerebellum functioning test to check the intoxication caused in the person, due to an excessive intake of drugs or alcohol. The intake of the drugs or alcohol causes hallucination, blurring of the vision, lack of the locomotor coordination of the hands and legs in the brain.

Peyton felt strange when she awoke one morning. She could not hold a pen in her right hand when trying to write an entry in her diary, and her muscles were noticeably weaker on the right side of her body. Additionally, her husband noticed that she was slurring her speech, so he took her to the emergency room. What does the ER physician suspect has occurred? Where in the brain might the physician suspect that abnormal activity or perhaps a lesion is located, and why?
You are walking to class, pondering the intricacies of physiology, when you trip over an uneven place in the sidewalk and fall. Unhurt but embarrassed and angry, you jump up and glance around to see if anyone is watching. From your knowledge of neuroanatomy and function, explain how the following areas of the brain might be involved in this scenario:
cerebrum
cerebellum
limbic system
Mr. Burke’s Physical Therapist Lisa is training him on using a walker, giving step-by-step instructions. He has a hard time consolidating and retrieving the instructions when she tells him what to do verbally. She has noticed he does better when she demonstrates or shows him pictures of each step. What does this tell you about where he may have sustained brain damage and why?

If they both inject the same amount of heroin, they will likely have similar experiences because the amount of blood you have is not related to your weight. 3) Drugs that are addictive always produce tolerance and withdrawal. 4) Symptoms of withdrawal are usually the opposite of the effects of the previously used drug. 5) Although their main effects occur in other neurochemical systems, both MDMA (Ecstasy) and cannabis distort the activity of dopamine, suggesting that these drugs have the potential to be addictive. 6) Opioids produce most of their effects by enhancing the release of a variety of neurochemicals from presynaptic axon terminals. 6) Dr. Baskin is studying the heritability of aggressiveness in…arrow_forward

The basal nuclei get information from only parts of the cerebral cortex that are involved in movement planning b.) Parkinson's disease is a condition that affects the normal functioning of the basal nuclei c.) The basal nuclei have an indirect pathway that tends to excite and thus increase the activity of the output nuclei (The Globus pallidus internal segment and substantia nigra pars reticulata) of the basal nuclei. d.) The basal nuclei have a direct pathway that tends to inhibit and thus reduce the activity of the output nuclei (The Globus pallidus internal segment and substantia nigra pars reticulata) of the basal nuclei.arrow_forwardThe middle cerebral artery (MCA) is the most common of the cerebral arteries to be affected by stroke.
