Another word for tactile object recognition
astereognosis
In which gyrus is the primary auditory cortex located?
Superior temporal gyrus
Which tract of the central nervous system ends in Brodmann areas 1,2 and 3?

What type of aphasia is this:
A 30-year-old patient is able to speak fluently, but his sentences do not make sense. He is unable to understand other people talking to him and has also trouble understanding written language.
receptive sensory aphasia
What old fascioned centre is associated to receptive sensory aphasia?
Wernickes area
In what gyrus is Wernickes area localised?
Superior temporal gyrus
In which cerebral lobe is the primary auditory cortex located?
Temporal
Which cerebral sulcus is surrounded by the primary visual cortex?
Calcarine sulcus
Which of the following Brodmann areas control motor functions involved in speech production?
Br 44 and Br45
Which BrA is primary visual cortex?
Br17
Which part of the brain includes the primary gustatory cortex and is an important location for the projection of the viscerosensory pathway?
The insular lobe
Which of the following Brodmann areas are associated with the primary somatosensory cortex?
Br 2, 1 and 3
Which of the following Brodmann areas are associated with Wernicke’s area, responsible for the comprehension of speech?
Br22, Br39 and Br40.
Which of the following Brodmann areas is associated with the premotor and supplementary motor cortex?
Br 6
A 40-year-old male stroke patient is unable to speak fluently. His cognitive processes are intact, but he cannot express himself properly. This condition is diagnosed as motor aphasia (Broca’s aphasia), caused by lesions in Broca’s area. Which gyrus of the brain is mostly likely affected in this condition?
Inferior frontal gyrus
What is the term for intact undertandning but inability to express speach properly?
Motor aphasia
What centre is usually said to be in charged of motor-speach function?
Brocas area
Which of the following Brodmann areas control motor functions involved in speech production?
Br 44 and 45.
what gyrus is associated to Brocas area?
inferior frontal gyrus
