12. Gene, a 74 year old male, had difficulty and ataxia while trying to perform a Finger-nose-finger exam, and has a positive Romberg sign. Where is the LEAST likely location of the lesion?

13. Louise, an 80 year old female, has a meningioma that damages only her ventral white commissure at T10. What symptom is she most likely experiencing?

14. Tina, a 23 year old female, entered a clinical experiment without reading the description. During the trial, both of her VPL nuclei in her thalamus are lesioned. What symptoms would she likely be experiencing?

15. Bob, a 90 year old male, presents to your office with bilateral loss of vibration sensation and inability to feel a cotton wisp. His pinprick test is normal. Imaging shows a focal CNS lesion. Where is the most likely location of the lesion?
