BRAIN BUSTER (om nom nom) TRIVIA!

User Image


It takes brains to stay at the head of a zombie flight. And while note a zombie itself, the blood and bones wyvern there likes those who have a good head on their shoulders. Since the rest of its' flight has scared to the four winds, it's looking for a new place to call home.

But only if you can impress him with your brain power.

Answers!

1. What part of a zombie's brain makes it ravenous?

- the (lateral) hypothalamus

2. Take a shambler and fix the cauliflower part above it's brainstem. What do you have now?

- improved motor control

3. Oh no! Your zombie's brain has decayed and split in half! On which side of the body do you place a picture of a brain to make it groan?

- The right side. "A patient with a split brain, when shown an image in his or her left visual field (the left half of what both eyes take in, see optic tract), will be unable to vocally name what he or she has seen. This is because the speech-control center is in the left side of the brain in most people, and the image from the left visual field is sent only to the right side of the brain (those with the speech control center in the right side will experience similar symptoms when an image is presented in the right visual field). Since communication between the two sides of the brain is inhibited, the patient cannot name what the right side of the brain is seeing." [x]

4. Your zombie can't feel it's left leg! (Yes, it's still attatched) Name the part of the brain most likely rotted to goo.

- the primary somatosensory cortex

5. SURPRISE! Your zombie is actually a zombie sheep. What does it's frontal lobe do now?

- In humans the frontal lobe mainly deals with higher functions like decision making an attention, but in a lot of mammals it's more associated with smell.

Everyone who participated met the requirements to get the Moonlit Night tag!

However, since no one got all the answers correct, and there were only three participants, I'm going to raffle the prize off between all of you.
