36
What is dysdiadochokinesia?
Inability to perform rapid alternating movement (flipping hands)
37
What is decomposition of movement?
Finger slows as it gets to target
38
What is dysarthria?
Slurred speech
39
What type of information is the optic nerve?
Divergent information
40
Where does the optic nerve synapse with the optic tract at?
Lateral geniculate nucleus
41
Where does information go from the optic nerve?

42
What is the function of the superior colliculus?

What visual disturbance would arise with a pituitary gland tumor?
Loss of temporal visual fields in the right and left eye
44
What does a lesion to the optic nerve result in?
