24
Q

what does the primary auditory cortex do?

A

auditory discrimination

25
Q

what does auditory association cortex do?

A

classification of sounds

26
Q

what do the subcortical connections do?

A

link wernices and brocas area

27
Q

what does oral and throat region of sensorimotor cortex do?

A

cortical output to speech muscles

28
Q

what does arcuate fasciculus do?

A

word repetition

29
Q

what is auditory agnosia?

A

inabilit to identify an object, even hough you can hear it

30
Q

what causes auditory agnosia?

A

lesion is in temporal lobe

unimodal sensory association cortex bilaterally

31
Q

what happens if your wernickes area is not working?

A

cant comprehend language

cant understand what is said to you

cant read

cant write comprehensibly

paraphasic speech

32
Q

what happens if brocas area is lesioned?

A

cant speak fluently

cant understand spoken and written language

mutism if its severe enough

if its less severe, limited speech (Slow speaking, nonessential words omitted)

33
Q

what is a global lesion, what happens?

A

lesion of lateral sulcus

receptive and expressive deficits

cant read or write

34
Q

what is a transcortical lesion?

A

sensory or motor, can repeat

35
Q

what is conduction aphasia?

A

lesion of supramarginal gyrus and arcuate fasciculus

cant repeat, but intact fluency

can comprehend language

word finding difficulties

intact readng, cant write

36
Q

what is special about transcortical motor lesion?

A

are nonfluent, everything else is pretty much ok

ACA-MCA border infarc

37
Q

what is special about transcortical sensory lesion?

A

cant comprehend or name, everything else is ok

MCA-PCA border infarc

38
Q

what happens if you have sensorineural damage to eat?

A

ipsilateral deafness

39
Q

what happens if you have central deafness?

A

not deaf because of crossing over, but hard to localize sound
