Septum

Cingulate gyrus

Isthmus of cngulate gyrus

parahippocmapl gyrus

hippocampus

20
Q

What are the anterior and posterior parts of the limbic lobe for?

A

the genu

24
Q

What is anosognosis and what kind of lesion causes this problem?

A

Lack of awareness of disease

Occurs with lesions involving the right parietal lobule

25
Q

Broca’s area vs Wericke’s area problems:

A

Broca’s aphasia: Expressive aphasia - cant form speech

Wernicke’s aphase: Receptive Aphasia - Failure to recognize or comprehend meaning of known words
