Cortex role
Thinking, problem solving, emotion, perceptions
Hemispheres are separated by
Longitudinal fissure
Cerebrum 3 parts
Thin outer grey matter
Deeper white matter
Basal nuclei
Basal nuclei
Clusters of grey matter deep in white mater
3 parts of basal nuclei
Caudate nucleus, putamen, globus pallidus
Basal nuclei role
Voluntary movement and sending signal to primary motor cortex
Sensory area
Receive sensory information and create sensations
Motor area
Voluntary movements
Somatosensory Association Area Function
Used for interpretation of touch pain and temperature
Primary Sensory Somatosensory Cortex
RECEIVES input of pressure pain and
Premotor Cortex
Stores info for learned motor skills and for working memory
Part is body with larger area of primary motor cortex have —-
Greater motor control (ex.hands)
Primary Motir cortex contains
Pyramidal (Betz cells)
Sensory and Motor Cortex Lobes?
Parietal and Frontal
Sensory Motor cortex Representation
Cortical Homunculus
How do we see
Left part of each retina sees things and sends to left side
