Quiz on Neuropsychology

Question	Answer
What is Neuropsychology?	Neuropsychology is a branch of psychology that studies the relationship between the structure and function of the brain and behavior. It is also concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system.
Name two areas of study within Neuropsychology?	Two areas of study within Neuropsychology are cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology.
What is the difference between cognitive neuroscience and clinical neuropsychology?	Cognitive neuroscience focuses on the scientific study of the neural mechanisms underlying mental processes and behavior. Clinical neuropsychology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system.
Name three specific disorders that Neuropsychology can be used to diagnose?	Three specific disorders that Neuropsychology can be used to diagnose are Alzheimer's disease, traumatic brain injury, and stroke.
What is the brain's primary language?	The brain's primary language is electrical signals.
What is the purpose of the electroencephalogram (EEG)?	The purpose of the electroencephalogram (EEG) is to measure electrical activity in the brain in order to diagnose and monitor a variety of neurological disorders.
What is the difference between the left and right hemispheres of the brain?	The left hemisphere of the brain is responsible for language and logical thinking, while the right hemisphere is responsible for creativity and spatial awareness.
What is the purpose of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)?	The purpose of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is to measure brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow. This can be used to diagnose various neurological disorders.
Name two methods used in Neuropsychology to assess cognitive functioning?	Two methods used in Neuropsychology to assess cognitive functioning are psychometric tests and neuropsychological tests.

Introduction

Neuropsychology is the study of how the brain affects behavior. It is a field of psychology that looks at how brain structure, chemistry, and functioning affect how people think, feel, and behave.

Activity 1

What are the two main parts of the brain?

Answer: The two main parts of the brain are the cerebrum and the cerebellum. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain and is responsible for higher level functions such as planning, problem-solving, and decision-making. The cerebellum is responsible for motor control and coordination.

Activity 2

What is the difference between the left and right sides of the brain?

Answer: The left side of the brain is responsible for language, logic, and analytical thinking, while the right side of the brain is responsible for creative thinking, intuition, and emotion.

Activity 3

What is a neurotransmitter?

Answer: A neurotransmitter is a chemical that is released by neurons in the brain and is responsible for carrying signals between neurons. Neurotransmitters are responsible for regulating many aspects of behavior, including emotions, memory, and cognition.

Activity 4

What is a neuron?

Answer: A neuron is a specialized cell in the brain that is responsible for transmitting information. Neurons are made up of a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The cell body contains the nucleus and other organelles, while the dendrites and axon are responsible for carrying electrical signals.

Activity 5

What is the difference between the hippocampus and the amygdala?

Answer: The hippocampus is a structure in the brain that is responsible for forming and storing memories, while the amygdala is responsible for regulating emotions. The amygdala is also involved in the formation of memories, but it is primarily responsible for processing emotions.
