            3.         Name and locate the ventricles of the brain.

            4.         List the major lobes, fissures, and functional areas of the cerebral cortex.

            5.         Explain lateralization of hemisphere function.

            6.         Differentiate between commissures, association fibers, and projection fibers.

            7.         Describe the general function of the basal nuclei (basal ganglia).

            8.         Describe the location of the diencephalon, and name its subdivisions and functions.

            9.         Identify the three major regions of the brain stem, and note the functions of each area.

            10.       Describe the structure and function of the cerebellum.

            11.       Locate the limbic system and the reticular formation, and explain the role of each functional system.

Higher Mental Functions

            12.       Define EEG and distinguish between alpha, beta, theta, and delta brain waves.

            13.       Describe consciousness clinically.

            14.       Compare and contrast the events and importance of slow-wave and REM sleep, and indicate how their patterns change through life.

            15.       Compare and contrast the stages and categories of memory.

            16.       Describe the relative roles of the major brain structures believed to be involved in declarative and procedural memories.

Protection of the Brain

            17.       Describe how meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and the blood-brain barrier protect the CNS.

            18.       Describe the formation of cerebrospinal fluid, and follow its circulatory pathway.

            19.       Indicate the cause (if known) and major signs and symptoms of cerebrovascular accidents, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease.

The Spinal Cord

            20.       Describe the embryonic development of the spinal cord.

            21.       Describe the gross and microscopic structure of the spinal      cord.

            22.       List the major spinal cord tracts, and classify each as a motor or sensory tract.

            23.       Distinguish between flaccid and spastic paralysis, and between paralysis and paresthesia.

Diagnostic Procedures for Assessing CNS Dysfunction
