Cerebrum and Cerebellum Lobe Functional Areas Flashcards
Frontal lobe functional areas/functions
Primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus) Frontal eye fields Broca's areas (expressive speech) Executive function Personality Micturition control centre
Parietal lobe functional areas/functions
Primary somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus) Spatial awareness Maths Reading Writing Coordination of movement Information processing
Temporal lobe functional areas/functions
Auditory area
Wernicke’s area (receptive speech)
Memory
Occipital lobe functional areas/functions
Visual cortex
Cerebrocerebellum function
Coordination of voluntary motor activity
Smooth execution of movements by correcting errors
Spinocerebellum function
Maintains muscle tone and participates in posture and gait
Vestibulocerebellum function
Receives input from the vestibular organs for maintaining balance and coordinating vestibule-ocular reflexes
