BrainAnatomy&Physio Review Flashcards
The right and left hemispheres of the cerebral cortex are connected by several bundles of fibers, the largest of which is the______. For most sensory and motor functions, the cerebral cortex exhibits____representation, which means that the left side of the brain controls the right side ofthe body and vice versa. While both hemispheres play a role in most behaviors, the___(usually left) hemishpere is primarily responsible for language,___memory, and ___emotions,while the____(usually right) hemisphere governs_____ recognition, nonverbal memory, and____emotions.Brain lateralization has been demonstrated by studies examining the effects of severing the corpus callosum inorder to control severe ____. When a familiar object is presented to the____visual field of a “split-brain” patient, the patient can name the object but cannot pick it out with his/her____hand.
corpus callosum;contralateral;dominant;verbal; positive; non-dominant;facial; negative; epilepsy;right;left
Each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex contains four lobes. The frontal lobe contains the primary motor cortex, supplementary motor area, premotor cortex, Broca’s area, and prefrontal cortex. The___is located on the precentral gyrus and is involved in the execution of movement, while the__plays a role in the learning of new motor sequences and, in conjunction with the primary motor cortex, prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum, mediates motor imagery.Damage to specific areas of the prefrontal cortex may produce one of three syndromes: Damage to the dorsolateral area results in dorsal convexity___syndrome; damage to the orbitofrontal area produces orbitofrontal disinhibition syndrome, which is also known as____, and damage to the mediofrontal area produces mesial frontal apathetic syndrome, which is also referred as_____.
primary motor cortex; supplementary motor area; dysexecutive; pseudopsychopathy; pseudodepression
The parietal lobes contain the__cortex, which is located on the postcentral gyrus. Damage to this area may cause tactile_____,apraxia, anosognosia, and distubances in spatial orientation. Lesions in the left parietal lobe may produce____syndrome, which involves a combination of finger agnosia, right-left confusion, agraphia, and acalculia. The temporal lobes contain___cortex and___area and are involved in the encoding, retrieval, and storage of long-term____memories. Finally, the occipital lobes contain the _____cortex, which is responsible for visual perception, recognition, and memory. Damage may produce____, which is an inability to recognize familiar objects. Lesions at the junction of the occipital, temporal, and parietal lobes can produce_____, which is the inability to recognize familiar faces.
somatosensory; agnosia;Gerstmann’s;auditory;Wernicke’s; declarative; visual; visual agnosia;prosopagnosia
