KROK 1 2016 – Question 185 · KROK (Medicine) · Physiology
During experiment a dog has developed conditioned digestive reflex in response to a sound stimulus. This conditioned reflex will not be exhibited anymore after the extirpation of the following areas of the cerebral hemispheres:
- A. Temporal lobe on both sides
- B. Temporal lobe on one side
- C. Occipital lobe on one side
- D. Occipital lobe on both sides
- E. Parietal lobe on both sides
Hint
Ask which cortical region analyses the type of stimulus used, and consider whether one hemisphere alone can maintain that function after the other is removed.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
