Disinhibition of the lateral geniculate nucleus may be responsible for vivid visual hallucinations in what condition? a) behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia
b) schizophrenia
c) Alzheimer's disease
d) peduncular hallucinosis

d) peduncular hallucinosis

Explanation:

One of the most striking symptoms of perpendicular hallucinosis is the existence of very vivid, colorful, and recurrent visual hallucinations. These hallucinations occur due to lesions of the brainstem and thalamus, which can influence a disinhibition of the lateral geniculate nucleus. The hallucinations provoked can be very debilitating for the person suffering from this illness and can completely disassociate him from reality.

what do the different brain waves do?

explanation:

brainwaves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. brainwaves are detected using sensors placed on the scalp. brainwave speed is measured in hertz (cycles per second) and they are divided into bands delineating slow, moderate, and fast waves.
