A 50-years-old woman is diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma that is surgically removed and sent to the pathology laboratory for testing. If the tissue stains positively for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), then the tumour must have originated from which of the following neural cells?
Which of the following nerves does not contribute first order general sensory axons to the spinal nucleus of the trigeminal?

In the human central nervous system, there are typically three levels of motor control, namely strategy, tactics and execution. The tactical level of motor control utilises which of the following areas of the brain?
The blood-brain barrier can be disrupted in patients with traumatic brain injury, allowing an influx of both positive and negative agents. This disruption can be produced by a loss of continuity between type 1 continuous capillary cells and

Which of the following regions of the midbrain is involved in producing a decrease in the hearing acuity?
An old man suffered from stroke, which damaged his right cerebral peduncle, resulting in a loss of motor control on the left side of his body. Due to the close proximity of a cranial nerve to the cerebral peduncles, his attending doctor suspects that dysfunction would also occur in
