Match the followings:

A. Hippocampus	I. Kluver-Bucy syndrome
B. Amygdala	II. Temporal lobe epilepsy
C. Hypothalamus	III. Anxiety disorders
D. Cingulate gyrus	IV. Chronic stress

 

The correct answer is 'A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III'

Key Points

• Hippocampus - Temporal lobe epilepsy:
  • The hippocampus is a critical brain structure involved in memory formation. Damage or abnormalities in the hippocampus can lead to temporal lobe epilepsy, a condition characterized by recurrent seizures originating in the temporal lobe.
• Amygdala - Kluver-Bucy syndrome:
  • The amygdala plays a significant role in emotion regulation and processing. Damage to the amygdala, such as from lesions, can result in Kluver-Bucy syndrome, which is characterized by symptoms such as hyperorality, hypersexuality, and a lack of fear.
• Hypothalamus - Chronic stress:
  • The hypothalamus is involved in various autonomic functions, including the stress response. Chronic stress can lead to prolonged activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which may result in numerous health issues, including anxiety and depression.
• Cingulate gyrus - Anxiety disorders:
  • The cingulate gyrus is part of the limbic system and is involved in emotion formation and processing, as well as cognitive functions. Dysfunction in this area can be associated with anxiety disorders, which involve excessive worry and fear.

Additional Information

• Other Options:
  • The incorrect matching options do not align with the well-established roles and associated conditions of the specified brain structures.
  • For example, matching the hippocampus with Kluver-Bucy syndrome or the hypothalamus with temporal lobe epilepsy does not reflect the specific functions and dysfunctions typically observed in neuroanatomy and neuropsychology.
