3Regarding the electroencephalogram (EEG):
- Athe normal EEG of an awake person is dominated by alpha waves
- Bduring deep sleep the EEG is always dominated by delta waves
- Cthe presence of theta waves in the EEG of an awake child is indicative of cerebral pathology

12Loss of fear and emotion is often observed in the lesion at:
- Aseptal nucleus
- Bthalamus
- Camygdaloidal nucleus
- Dsensory cortex
- Ebasal ganglia
13The Renshaw cells:
- Areceive recurrent collaterals from motor neurons and inhibit other motor neurons in the vicinity
- Brepresent the inhibitory system of cerebellum
- Care a major component of muscle spindle
- Dare present in retina
- Eare present in the basal ganglia
14Promoter cortex refers to:
- Asome areas anterior to primary motor cortex causing complex coordinate movements like speech, eye movements
- Ban area of motor cortex responsible for voluntary movements
- Can area in temporal cortex
- Dan area of cerebellum
- Ec and d
15Functions of limbic system are all following EXCEPT:
- Aolfaction
- Bgustation

- Evision
16REM is:
- Acharacterized by delta waves on EEG
- Ba sound and dreamless sleep
- Ccharacterized by total lack of muscular activity
- Dreferred to as paradoxical sleep
- Echaracterized by alpha waves on ECG
17Sleep deprivation:
- Acan cause psychotic episodes
- Bis associated with sluggishness of thoughts
- Cmakes a person more alert

- Eparaventricular
22Human circadian (24-hour) rhythms:
- Aare triggered totally by external (exogenous) factors
- Bdepend more on the integrity of the cerebral cortex than of the hypothalamus
- Cadapt within 48 hours on changing from day to night shift work
- Dfor melatonin secretion produce high night-time and low day-time levels of the hormone
- Efor the eosinophil count produce peak values around midday
