Cortex Flashcards
8 parts of the cortex
-frontal lobe
-pre frontal lobe
-Broca’s area
-parietal lobe
-wernicke’s area
-occipital lobe
-temporal lobe
-limbic system
Frontal lobe (4)
-motor
-premotor
-supplementary motor
-frontal eye field
Prefrontal area (2)
-plans complex patterns (personality and emotional behaviour)
-sequences of motor movements
Broca’s area
Motor speech area where words are formed
Which lobe is responsible for visual processing and perception
Occipital
Which lobe is responsible for somatosensory info
Parietal
Which lobe is responsible for motor behaviour
Frontal
Wernicke’s area (2)
-language
-somatosensory info can be transferred
Parietal lobe (4)
-voluntary motor activity
-visual information reaches cortex
-visual guidance of voluntary movement
-non dominant hemisphere involved in spatial analysis
Occipital lobe (3)
-eye movement
-pupillary constriction
-accommodation
Temporal lobe (3)
-processing and perception of sound
-processing of vestibular info
-higher order visual processing (ex facial recognition)
Limbic system includes (4)
-hippocampus
-amygdala
-anterior thalamic nuclei
-limbic cortex
Behavioural and emotional response is controlled by the
Limbic system
