spatial neglect syndrome (contralateral)
What is a consequence of a lesion in: Mammillary bodies?
Wernicke-Korsakoff's encephalopathy: anterograde amnesia (think alcoholism)
What is a consequence of a lesion in: Cerebellar vermis?
Truncal ataxia and dysarthria
What is a consequence of a lesion in: Cerebellar hemisphere?
Limb ataxia and intention tremor
What is a consequence of a lesion in: Reticular activating system?
Coma

brain stem, vertebral arteries, spinal roots of CN XI
Name two nerves passing through internal auditory meatus.
CN VII, VIII
Describe the innervation of the extraocular muscles.
LR6SO4R3 : Lateral Rectus = CN VI, Superior Oblique = CN IV, and the Rest are CN III
List in sequence the nerves, brain structures, and muscles involved in the pupillary light reflex from illumination of one eye to bilateral pupillary constriction.

What is the characteristic lesion in internuclear ophthalmoplegia?
destruction of the medial longitudinal fasciculus (MLF) => medial rectus palsy on attempted lateral gaze
Name three characteristic clinical features of internuclear ophthalmoplegia.
1. On attempted lateral gaze, contralateral eye fails to abduct past midline; 2. Contralateral nystagmus on attempted lateral gaze; 3. Normal convergence
What neurologic disease is commonly associated with internuclear ophthalmoplegia (aka MLF syndrome)?
multiple sclerosis; think MLF = MS
