71
Q

Broca’s area location

A

a region in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere (usually the left) of the hominid brain[1

72
Q

Broca’s area function

75
Q

The premotor area

A

The premotor cortex is an area of motor cortex lying within the frontal lobe of the brain just anterior to the primary motor cortex.

76
Q

The primary motor area

A

The primary motor cortex (Brodmann area 4) is a brain region that in humans is located in the dorsal portion of the frontal lobe. It is the primary region of the motor system and works in association with other motor areas including premotor cortex, the supplementary motor area, posterior parietal cortex, and several subcortical brain regions, to plan and execute movements.

77
Q

The primary somesthetic (sensory) area

A

The primary somatosensory cortex is located in the postcentral gyrus, and is part of the somatosensory system

78
Q

The parietal lobe

A

The parietal lobes can be divided into two functional regions. One involves sensation and perception and the other is concerned with integrating sensory input, primarily with the visual system. The first function integrates sensory information to form a single perception (cognition). The second function constructs a spatial coordinate system to represent the world around us. Individuals with damage to the parietal lobes often show striking deficits, such as abnormalities in body image and spatial relations.

79
Q

The temporal lobe

A

The temporal lobe is located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain.[3]
The temporal lobe is involved in processing sensory input into derived meanings for the appropriate retention of visual memory, language comprehension, and emotion association.

80
Q

superior temporal gyrus

A

The superior temporal gyrus is one of three (sometimes two) gyri in the temporal lobe of the human brain, which is located laterally to the head, situated somewhat above the external ear.

81
Q

middle temporal gyrus

A

It is located between the superior temporal gyrus and inferior temporal gyrus

82
Q

inferior temporal gyrus

A

The inferior temporal gyrus is placed below the middle temporal gyrus, and is connected behind with the inferior occipital gyrus; This region is one of the higher levels of the ventral stream of visual processing, associated with the representation of complex object features, such as global shape. It may also be involved in face perception, and in the recognition of numbers.

83
Q

important structures located at the superior temporal gyrus

A

the primary auditory cortex, the cortical region (responsible for the sensation of sound)
Wernicke’s area, the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for (processing sounds)

84
Q

HESCHL GYRI (location)

A

The transverse temporal gyri (also called Heschl’s gyri or Heschl’s convolutions) are found in the area of primary auditory cortex buried within the lateral sulcus of the human brain,

85
Q

The occipital lobe

A

Contains the primary and secondary visual cortical areas

86
Q

Insular Lobes structure

A

n each hemisphere of the mammalian brain the insular cortex (often called insula, or insular lobe) is a portion of the cerebral cortex folded deep within the lateral sulcus (the fissure separating the temporal lobe from the parietal and frontal lobes).

87
Q

Insular Lobes function

A

The insulae are believed to be involved in consciousness and play a role in diverse functions usually linked to emotion or the regulation of the body’s homeostasis. These functions include perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal experience.

88
Q

Insular/limbic lobe

A

Insular cortex also called the isle of Reil, is concealed within the depths of
The lateral fissure
Related to limbic and sensorimotor functions

89
Q

90
Q

The four parts of the corpus callosum

A

Rostrum
Genu
Body
Splenium

91
Q

Rostrum

A

The genu is prolonged backward under the name of the rostrum, and is connected below with the lamina terminalis, which stretches from the interventricular foramen to the recess at the base of the optic stalk.

92
Q

Genu

A

The anterior end of the corpus callosum is named the genu, and is bent downward and backward in front of the septum pellucidum; diminishing rapidly in thickness,

93
Q

Body

A

also called trunk (center of corpus callosum)

94
Q

Splenium

A

The posterior end of the corpus callosum is the thickest part, and is termed the splenium (Greek splenion = a bandage).

95
Q

Corpus Callosum

A

It connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres and facilitates interhemispheric communication. It is the largest white matter structure in the brain

96
Q

basal ganglia structure

A

Basal ganglia nuclei are strongly interconnected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and brainstem, as well as several other brain areas.

97
Q

basal ganglia function

A

The basal ganglia are associated with a variety of functions including: control of voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, routine behaviors or “habits” such as teeth grinding, eye movements, cognition, and emotion.

98
Q

Thalamus

A

the large mass of gray matter in the dorsal part of the diencephalon of the brain with several functions such as relaying of sensory and motor signals to the cerebral cortex,and the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness.

99
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Relay sensorimotor information to the cortex and contributes to cortically mediated speech and language functions

100
Q

brainstem

A

Connects the diencephalon to the spinal cord

A

the midbrain, the pons, and the oblongata

102
Q

brainstrem colliculi

A

inferior and superior- compromise the tectum, the dorsal covering of the cerebral aqueduct (within the midbrain, within the brainstem)

103
Q

inferior colliculus

A

The inferior colliculus, is the principal midbrain nucleus of the auditory pathway and receives input from several peripheral brainstem nuclei, as well as inputs from the auditory cortex

104
Q

superior colliculus

A

Superior to the inferior colliculus, the superior colliculus marks the rostral midbrain. It is involved in the special sense of vision and sends its superior brachium to the lateral geniculate body of the diencephalon.
