Auditory Pathways Flashcards

1
Q

Cochlear Nuclei sending info to the brain how

A

Cochlear nerve fibers get auditory info from cochlea and goes to brainstem at cerebellopontine angle
Then it splits to:
1) synapse on anterior part of anterior cochlear nucleus (Octopus Cells, Globular Bushy Cells, and Spherical Bushy Cells)
2) synapse at posterior part of anterior cochlear nucleus and posterior part of posterior cochlear nucleus (Pyramidal cells)

Q

Binaural Tract relay info about difference in sound between both ears to

A
  1. Anterior Cochlear Nucleus (VCN)
  2. Trapezoid Body CROSSING
  3. Superior Olivary Nucleus
    - MSO: time
    - LSO: intensity
  4. Lateral Lemniscus
    - central nucleus: to SAME Inferior colliculus
    - posterior nucleus: get form LSO and go to SAME and OPPOSITE Inferior Colliculus (some CROSSING)
  5. inferior colliculus
  6. MGN

Q

Language Dominant: Broca’s area

A

Production of speech, writing. signs
Works with Frontal lobe to add grammar and syntax of high order speech aspects
Lesion: cant speak , hard time writing
can still understand language and swallow and breathe

Q

Language Dominant: Wernicke’s area

A

Comprehension of speech or signs
Works with parietal lobe and temporal lobe to add lexicon (vocab) and find meaning in sound
lesion: cant understand, cant write, cant read, no repeating
normal speech

16
Q

Language Dominant: Arcuate Fasciculus

A

connecting Brocas and Wernickes

to speak coherently and understand what is being said to us, and respond appropriately

17
Q

Language Non-Dominant: side

A

usually right hemisphere

18
Q

Language Non-Dominant: function

A

for non-verbal communication skills
tone of voice
Prosody, melody of speech to convey a meaning like emphasizing some words
having emotion to language meaning

19
Q

Language Non-Dominant: in the brocas analogous area+ Lesion

A

producing nonverbal prosody of speech (like adding sarcasm or anger)

LESION= Motor Aprosodia

20
Q

Language Non-Dominant: in the wernicke’s analogous area +lesion

A

comprehension of nonverbal cues and prosody (like someone shrugging shoulders when you ask someone a question and you don’t understand what that means)

LESION= Sensory Aprosodia

21
Q

PAC

A

Differentiates where and when sound is coming from

22
Q

Auditory Association Cortex

Anterior, Superior Temporal Lobe

A

Classify sound by PAC+Visual+Somesthetic info

what is the sound

23
Q

Arcuate Fasciculus

A

connecting the Brocas and Wernickes areas

24
Q

Motor corticies

A

send info from (maybe brocas) to the speech muscles to move accordingly

25
Q

Auditory Agnosia

A

Inability to identify something , however you know it is there
BILATERAL LESION in the Anterior Temporal Lobes
you hear sound, you don’t know what it is

damaging wernickes and wernickes analogous

26
Q

Aphasia: Not fluent speech–> cant comprehend speech —>cant repeat words or phrases

A

GLOBAL APHASIA
X: left internal carotid, or proximal (M1) of MCA
damaged Wernickes and Brocas

27
Q

similar to global only you can still repeat words

28
Q

A
BROCAS APHASIA

can still swallow and breathe normally
can say "um" "yes" "no" small phrases
29
Q

Arcuate fasciulus help to do

A

Repeat words and phrases
Or respond appropriately like you see and hear a lion and you understand the danger and what is going on and you turn to your friend and calmly say her we should leave instead of screaming in a scared way
