Cognitive Processing Flashcards
Multimodal cortexes are:
Association cortexes that integrate information across sensory modalities (memory)
Unimodal cortexes are:
Association cortexes integrating information from ONE sensory modality
Flow of information follows what cortex route?
Primary sensory cortex -> Unimodal cortex -> Multimodal cortex -> premotor cortex -> primary motor cortex
Auditory information branches through what part of the thalamus?
MGN
Visual sensory information branches through what part of the thalamus?
LGN
General somatosensory information branches through what part of the thalamus?
VPN
The visual association cortex is associated with what area of the thalamus?
Pulvinar nucleus
The superior colliculus, amygdala, olfactory cortex and ventral pallidum are associated with what area of the thalamus?
Medial dorsal nucleus
Association cortexes, anterior cingulate, and retina are associated with what area of the thalamus?
LPN
The hypothalamus, cingulate, and hippocampus are associated with what area of the thalamus?
Anterior nucleus
Damage to the dominant posterior parietal cortex results in…
motor apraxia
Damage to the NONdominant posterior parietal cortex results in…
Spatial neglect
Sequential apraxia results from a lesion in what cortex?
frontal
An apraxia resulting in a lowered ability to move your facial muscles results from a lesion close to what centers?
language centers
What is proposagnosia?
Inability to recognize faces
