Adult Lang Cog Condition Flashcards
Function of the parietal lobe
Somatosensation
Function of the temporal lobe
Audition, receptive language, long term memory
Function of frontal lobe?
Cognition, movement, expressive language
What Brodmann area is responsible for the following: cognition, personality, decision making, EF, emotional regulation.
BA 9, 10, 11
Prefrontal cortex
BA 8
Frontal eye field
Function: Controlling eye movement, visual attention
BA 44, 45
Broca’s area (inferior frontal gyrus)
Function: Language processing, speech production
BA 6
Premotor cortex
Planning and sequencing of voluntary movements
BA 4
Primary motor cortex
Carries out motor plans from 44 and 6
BA 1, 2, 3
Primary sensory cortex
Function: Receiving and perceiving somatosensory information
BA 5, 7
Somatosensory association cortex
Function: Stereognosis, sensory feedback in speech, and writing
BA 39
Angular gyrus
Function: reading, writing, math
BA 40
Supramarginal gyrus
Function: Phonological processing in spoken and written language
BA 38
Temporal pole
Function: Semantic processing, speech comprehension, narrative comprehension (Left side)
Identifying voices, emotional processing in language (Right)
Theory of mind, empathy (both)
BA 41, 42
Primary auditory cortex
Function: receiving and processing auditory input from auditory pathway (intensity, frequency of sounds)
BA 22
Wernicke’s area
Function: attaching meaning to sounds from 41, 42, if speech and language
Middle and inferior lobe
BA 20, 21
Function: naming objects, recognizing faces
Cingulate cortex
BA 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31. 32, 33
Function: decision making, impulse control, emotional processing, perception of pain, autobiographical memory
BA 27, 28, 34, 35, 36
Function: Semantic, and episodic memory
Parahippocampal gyrus
BA 13, 14, 15, 16
Insular cortex
Function: gustatory and sensorimotor functions
BA 17
Primary visual cortex
Function: receiving and processing visual information from the eyes
BA 18, 19
Associative visual cortex
Attending to visual feature and perceives depth
What is CT Scan? What does it use and create?
- Computer Tomography Scan
- It is a medical imaging procedure that uses X-rays and computer processing to create detailed cross-sectional images of the body’s internal structures.
- It provides more detailed information than standard X-rays and is particularly useful for imaging soft tissues, blood vessels, bones, and organs.
What is an MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a medical imaging technique that uses strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the inside of the body. Unlike a CT scan, which uses X-rays, MRI does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for certain types of diagnostic imaging.
What is TBI?
- Traumatic brain injury
- Occurs when an external force is exerted on the head causing brain tissue damage (which can be focal or spread out)
- Symptoms can be similar to aphasic clients, or cog-comm disorder clients, or both
- Severity of injury correlated with the symptoms they present after the injury and more specifically with neurologic findings
