Rhythm and the Neurological Plexuses: Better Understanding Autism to Enhance Therapy Interventions; Part 1

---

1.  The most rostral lobe (toward nose) of the cerebral cortex is the ______. Frontal Temporal Occipital Parietal

2.  The emotional brain consists of all EXCEPT: Neocortex Occipital lobe Limbic brain Reptilian brain

3.  The reticular activating system (RAS) has input from: Eyes Ears Touch/pain All of the above

4.  Dysfunctional neuronal oscillations may relate to challenges in ___________. Cognition/memory Perception Behavior All of the above

5.  The enteric nervous system (brain gut connection): Uses only 1-2 different neurotransmitters Does not resemble the CNS Communicates bi-directionally with the CNS and can mediate behavior Makes 10% of body's dopamine

6.  The primary nerve relating to regulation within the Parasympathetic nervous system is: Vagus (Cranial Nerve X) Glossopharyngeal (Cranial Nerve IX) Ulnar Radial

7.  Enriched experiences and environments promote: Symptoms of Autism Synchrony within the nervous system Hyperactivity None of the above

8.  From neuronal oscillation research, it is concluded all EXCEPT: Neural oscillations improve with treatment Waves show a peak with attention to an object Children with autism respond to novel experiences Children with autism respond to familiar experiences

9.  In the mind-body connection, all occur EXCEPT: Movement is separate from the brain Movement can connect to brain oscillations Rocking can affect brain patterns Calming can occur with rhythmic breathing

10.  The Autonomic Plexuses include all of the following EXCEPT: Myenteric Cervical Celiac Submucous
