19
Q

Language comprehension. Located on the LEFT temporal lobe.

A

Wernicke’s Area

20
Q

White matter tract that connects Broca’s Area and Wernicke’s Area through the Temporal, Parietal and Frontal Lobes

A

Arcuate fasciculus

21
Q

Acoustic or receptive aspects of language

A

Superior part of the dominant temporal lobe

22
Q

great integrator of “sensations, emotions, and behavior”

A

Temporal Lobe

23
Q

site where sensory modalities are integrated into ultimate self-awareness

A

Temporal Lobe

24
Q

It plays a major role in the following functions/actions:
Senses and integrates sensation(s)
Spatial awareness and perception
(Proprioception -Awareness of body/ body parts in space and in relation to each other)

A

Parietal Lobe

25
Involved with processing of tactile and proprioceptive information
Primary Somatosensory Cortex (Postcentral Gyrus)
26
Assists with the integration and interpretation of sensations relative to body position and orientation in space. May assist with visuo-motor coordination
Somatosensory Association Cortex
27
Primary site involved with the interpretation of the sensation of Taste
Primary Gustatory Cortex
28
____________ receives most of its afferent projections from the ventroposterior thalamic nucleus, which is the terminus of the _____________ pathways
``` postcentral gyrus (primary somatosensory cortex) ascending somatosensory ```
29
understanding of spokenand writtenwordsis partly a function of the
supramarginal and angular gyri of the dominantparietallobe
30
Its primary function is the processing, integration, and interpretation of VISION and visual stimuli
Occipital Lobe
31
essential for visual perception and recognition
termini of the geniculocalcarine pathways
32
Is a large collection of gray matter within the hemispheres
Basal Ganglia
33
It is comprised by a network of subcortical nuclei of the telencephalon, subthalamus and midbrain
Basal Ganglia
34
It influences the lower motor neurons indirectly through the modulation of cerebral cortex and brainstem
Basal Ganglia
35
Play a role in the automatic execution of learned motor plan and in the preparation for movement
Basal Ganglia
36
Non-motor function of the basal ganglia
Cognitive Function | Emotion and Motivation Function
37
Nuclei found on each of the hemispheres
``` • The caudate • The putamen • The globus pallidus Thesubstantia nigra Thesubthalamic nucleus nucleus accumbens septi olfactory tubercle ```
38
Composition of corpus striatum
Caudate Putamen GLobus pallidus
39
Compostion of Striatum, Dorsal Striatum and Neostriatum
Caudate | Putamen
40
Compostion of Ventral Striatum
Caudate Putamen Nucleus accumbens Olfactory Tubercle
41
Composition of Pallidum, paleostriatum
Globus pallidus
42
Composition of Lentiform Nuceleus
Putamen | Globus pallidus
43
Activation of this pathway leads to net disinhibitory (facilitatory) effect on the thalamus and an increase in motor behavior
Direct pathway
44
Activation of this pathway leads to increased inhibition of the thalamus and decreased motor activity
Indirect pathway
