8In MRI studieis, children and adolescents with ADHD exhibited [blank_start]delays[blank_end] in cortical maturation, prominent in the [blank_start]prefrontal[blank_end] regions. Approzimately a [blank_start]2-4[blank_end] year delay.
- Adelays
- Bprefrontal
- C2-4
9Children and adults with ADHD have been found to have larger brain volume.
- ATrue
- BFalse
10What has been found with neuroimaging in ADHD?
- ALower overall brain volume
- BLower grey matter density
- CWhite matter abnormalities
- DReduced cortical thickness
11The [blank_start]frontal-limbic[blank_end] (reward) network is responsible for [blank_start]emotional dysregulation[blank_end], [blank_start]motivation[blank_end] deficits, [blank_start]hyperactivity[blank_end]-impulsivity, and proneness to [blank_start]aggression[blank_end].
- Afrontal-limbic

- Dhyperactivity
- Eaggression
12ASD is more prevalent in males at 4:1
- ATrue
- BFalse
13Which of the following are possible etiologies of ASD?
- Aparental age
- Bbirth complications
- Cprenatal exposures to certain medications, infections
- Dimmunizations
14What structural changes have been found in an ASD brain?
- Aearly overgrowth and amygdala enlargement
- Bearly overgrowth and hippocampus enlargement
- Cearly overgrowth of the PFC
15What functional changes occur in the ASD brain?
- A"social brain" and network connectivity
- Bneurotransmitter inhibition
- Cword finding difficulties
16Regarding early brain overgrowth in Autism
- Aa retrospective screening strategy measures an infants head before the age of 3
- Ba prospective screening strategy scans high risk infants and follows up with those that develop autism
- Cthere is an abnormal cessation of growth later in childhood
17What are possible reasons for increased brain volume?
- AIncreased cortical thickness
- BIncreased cortical surface area
- CLots of thinking happening
18What are cortical minicolumns?
- AThe smallest functional unit of the cortex
- Bthe things that hold your brain in place
- Cthe basis for lateral induction
19The structural changes in ASD are
- AHigher total brain volume starting between 6 and 12 months old
- BEarly overgrowth which appears to be stemming from increased cortical surface area
- CIncreased surface area, due to an increased number of radial units and/or wider spacing of cortical minicolumns
20What structural change are the social deficits in ASD attributed to?
- AEnlarged amygdala in early childhood
- Bincreased brain volume
- Cincreased cortical thickness
21The reduced neuron and oligodendrocyte count in adults may reflect normalization of size or slower growth trajectory later in life
- ATrue
- BFalse
22Inhibition of amygdala via the vmPFC is diminished in ASD when viewing faces
- ATrue
- BFalse
23What is true about both ADHD and ASD?
- AHighly heritable
- BFairly prevalent
- CEarly intervention makes no difference in outcome of treatmetn
24Early intervention in ASD is critical and has led to improved early screening, increasing apparent prevalence
- ATrue
- BFalse
25In ADHD, there are 5 networks that affect
- Aattention
- Bexecutive function
- Chyperactivity
- Dlanguage
- Esocial skills
26In ASD, surface area changes can be detected in the first year of life, but a diagnosis cannot be made until age 3
- ATrue
- BFalse
27In ASD, there is an abnormal brain response to joint attention
- ATrue
- BFalse
