1How many turns are there in the cochlea?
- A1
- B1.5
- C2
- D2.5
2Label the visual and auditory areas on the below diagram.

- APrimary Visual Cortex
- BPrimary Auditory Cortex
- CAuditory Association Cortex (Wernicke's)
- DBroca's Area
- EPrimary Motor Cortex
- FPrimary Somatosensory Cortex
3[blank_start]Expressive Dysphasia/Aphasia[blank_end]: Patient's have difficulty in producing language, often only using few words or the most important words in a sentence.
[blank_start]Receptive Dysphasia/Aphasia[blank_end]: Patients have difficulty comprehending language.- AExpressive Dysphasia/Aphasia
- BReceptive Dysphasia/Aphasia
4[blank_start]Wernicke's Area[blank_end]: Processes incoming speech signals; this area is responsible for comprehending language
[blank_start]Broca's Area[blank_end]: Processes the motor aspect of speech; expressing language through means of speech- ABroca's Area
- BWernicke's Area
- CPrimary Auditory Cortex
5Therefore, damage to Wernicke's area will cause [blank_start]receptive[blank_end] dysphasia/aphasia whereas damage to Broca's area will cause [blank_start]expressive[blank_end] dysphasia/aphasia
- Areceptive
- Bexpressive
- Cexpressive
- Dreceptive
6Strangely, Wernicke's & Broca's areas tend to only exist unilaterally (on one side of the brain). In most people, they tend to both be found on the right side of the brain.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7In terms of the visual pathway, after the optic nerves cross at the optic [blank_start]chiasm[blank_end] they become optic tracts. These optic tracts move up into the Thalamus where they synapse with optic radiations at the [blank_start]lateral geniculate[blank_end] nuclei, which then radiate towards and into the primary visual cortex.
- Achiasm
- Bnucleus
- Cradiation
- Dlateral geniculate
- Emedial geniculate
- Flentiform
- Gsolitary
8Which part of the visual cortex sees upper retinal projections, and which sees lower retinal projections?

- ASuperior Visual field
- BInferior Visual Field
- CInferior Visual Field
- DSuperior Visual Field
9What does 'saccadic' eye movements tend to refer to?
- ASmooth, tracking movements of the eye
- BJumpy movements of command (not tracking anything)
10Name the visual field defect that would be produced at each area if it were to be damaged.

- AMonocular Blindness
- BBitemporal Hemianopia
- CHomonymous Hemianopia
11The primary [blank_start]gustatory[blank_end] cortex is a brain structure responsible for the perception of taste.
- Agustatory
12Identify the structures labelled below.

- ASuperior colliculus
- BInferior colliculus
13The [blank_start]inferior[blank_end] colliculus is the principal midbrain nucleus of the auditory pathway.
- Ainferior
- Bsuperior
14The superior colliculus plays a large role in which of the following?
- AIt helps to provide motor innervation to the neck muscles, facilitating rotation of the neck
- BAs a part of the visual pathway it co-ordinates the movement of the eyes
- CForms the fine touch part of the dorsal column/medial lemniscus pathway
15Types of White Matter Fibres:
[blank_start]Association fibres[blank_end]: Connect cortical sites lying in the same hemisphere.
[blank_start]Commissural fibres[blank_end]: Connect one hemisphere to the other, usually connecting areas with similar function.
[blank_start]Projection fibres[blank_end]: Connect hemispheres to deeper structures including thalamus, corpus striatum, brain stem and spinal cord.- AAssociation fibres
- BCommissural fibres
- CProjection fibres
16Label the white matter tracts by type of fibre.

- ACommissural Fibres
- BProjection Fibres
- CAssociation Fibres
17Medial Geniculate Nucleus --> [blank_start]Auditory Cortex[blank_end]
Lateral Geniculate Nucleus --> [blank_start]Visual Cortex[blank_end]- AVisual Cortex
- BAuditory Cortex
- CAuditory Cortex
- DVisual Cortex
18Name the structure labelled below:

- AMeyer's Loop
19When testing one eye for the pupillary light reflex, it is expected that the pupil of the other eye will remain dilated as there is no bright light entering it.
- ATrue
- BFalse
