Yes, it is correct. A major loss of cerebellar function will lead to ataxia, the inability of a patient to walk normally. Most patients will have wide gaits and unsteady movements.

ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorders) is a disorder of development that affects language, social skills and behaviour. Children with ASD are unable to interpret the world and what is happening around them in the same way that other children do. There is a range of severity and intellectual ability, from the severely impaired child with classical autism, to a child with Asperger syndrome. High-functioning autistic children with Asperger syndrome may have a high level of intelligence but have difficulty with social interaction.

This is the correct answer because Meningitis affects spinal cord and brain of human being.

Impotency often called erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection long enough to engage in sexual intercourse.

Quadriplegia is a condition of paralysis where an individual loses complete or partial use of all limbs and the torso. It results due to extensive damage to the spinal cord.

Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative genetic disorder that affects muscle coordination and leads to mental decline and behavioral symptoms. Symptoms of the disease can vary between individuals and affected members of the same family, but usually progress predictably.

Hypoglossal nerve is a somatic motor nerve, supplying all extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of tongue. If there is hypoglossal nerve injury (due to penetrating injury to the neck and a skull base pathology), it causes the following:

1. Atrophy of ipsilateral muscle of the tongue and deviation towards the affected side with speech disturbance.
2. Deviation of tongue to right side as hypoglossal nerve on right side is injured.

This option is incorrect.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. These difficulties are unexpected relative to other cognitive abilities. Options A, B, and D refer to different conditions - dyslexia is specifically a reading-based learning disorder, not a general mental, mathematical, or behavioral disorder.

Pigment neuromelanin is linked to Parkinson's disease. Neuromelanin-containing neurons in the substantia nigra undergo neurodegeneration during Parkinson's disease. This makes the cell deficient of neuromelanin.

In holoprosencephaly, embryonic forebrain fails to divide into two lobes. In most cases of holoprosencephaly, the malformations are so severe that babies die before birth.

Huntington's disease is a choreiform disorder and is caused by a degenerative process in the striatum. It affects muscle coordination and leads to mental decline and behavioral symptoms.

Agnosia is characterised by the inability to recognise and interpret objects in the visual field. Treatment is generally symptomatic and supportive based on cues of touch.

Aphasia is a disorder characterised by either partial or total loss of the ability to communicate verbally and even using written words.
