C	Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

A	Alzheimer’s disease
B	Fronto temporal dementia
C	Vascular etiology
D	Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Question 20 Explanation:

On neuroimaging studies, extensive white matter abnormalities correlate best with a vascular etiology for dementia.

Question 21

A	Pittsburgh Compound-A
B	Pittsburgh Compound-B
C	Pittsburgh Compound-C
D	Pittsburgh Compound-D

Question 21 Explanation:

Amyloid imaging with radioligands like Pittsburgh Compound-B (PiB) and 18F-AV-45 help in detecting brain amyloid associated with amyloid angiopathy or neuritic plaques of AD

Question 22

EEG is helpful in the diagnosis of which of the following ?

A	Alzheimer’s disease
B	Frontotemporal dementia
C	Cortical basal degeneration
D	Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease

Question 22 Explanation:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is rarely helpful except in CJD (repetitive bursts of diffuse highamplitude sharp waves, or “periodic complexes”).

Question 23

Which of the following is the major source of cholinergic input to the cerebral cortex ?

A	Globus pallidus
B	Thalamus
C	Nucleus accumbens
D	Nucleus basalis of Meynert
