Q

negative effects of chronic stress :

A
  • increased blood sugar
  • immunosuppression
  • blood vessel changes (heart attack or stroke)
  • damage to cells of the hippocampus
  • weaken or break rational control of ipulse

Q

the temporoparietal area has what four things?

A
  • convergent thinking
  • communication
  • directing attention
  • comprehending space (spatial realtions)
25
convergent thinking is
taking all the information that you learned and boiling it down to many things to one thing
26
the dotted line in the picture is what?
temporal / parietal JUNCTION
27
LEFT hemi affects
creating and understanding language
28
RIGHT hemi affects
non verbal and paraverbal
29
what % is it that the left will present the left and the right will present the right
95%
30
communication has six steps:
1. discrimination 2. classification 3. werinicke's area 4. link 5. broca's area 6. primary motor cortex
31
1. discrimination
- temporal lobe - auditory sensation - primary cortex fx: start to discriminate sounds based on pitch /volume
32
first step of communication is
discrimination
33
discrimination takes places where
the primary auditory cortex
34
where is the primary auditory cortex?
the temporal lobe
35
which lobe does discrimination affect
temporal lobe
36
2. classification
1. takes lanuage adn ships to another place | 2. everything else it makes meaning out of
37
def of discrimination
start to distinguish sounds based on pitch / volume
38
ie of what classification does
distinguishes what foot steps are from doorbell
39
projection fibers go
up / down
40
commissural fibers go
side/side
41
association fibers go
associate 1 lobe w/ another | - front to back
42
3. werneke's lobe
- tempoparietal junction | - part that understanding speech and language
43
4. link
subcortical connections
44
what does the link do
connect the wernicke's area to the broca's area
45
5. broca's area is the
motor plan to say the words your thinking
46
6. primary motor cortex:
UMN Pyramid project to brainstem to CN
47
the CN affect speech:
CN VII: CN XII: CN V: CN X:
48
aphasia
impaired spoken language
49
alexia
comprehension of written word
50
agraphia
ability to write
51
wernickes aphasia
- dx to tempo-parietal junction - dx to LEFT - impaired language comprehension - will speech fluently - impairs speaking and hearing - "receptive" - "sensory" - "fluent"
52
fluent
when words come out fluently but doesn't make sense
53
the primary motor cortex has what important tract?
corticobrainstem
54
the corticobrainstem does what?
tract tht takes primary motor cortex signals to brain stem CN can create speech that was head/thought
55
broca's aphasia:
- impaired language expression - expressive - may still say simple/ habitual phrases - motor - nonfluent - writing also impaired
56
therapy :
1. use few words simply language 2. use few words they have 3. symbolgie 4. can point not speech
57
global aphasia:
``` inability to use language in any form impaired comprehension spoken language - speaking - reading - writing - large lesion ```
58
what cerebral artery would affect to create global artery:
middle cerebral artery
59
the three schema:
1. the body: related to the body 2. the body: related to the world 3. the world: in relation to itself
