Cortex Flashcards
1
Q
Frontal Lobe Functions
A
- voluntary movement
- language production (left)
- motor prosody (right)
- comportment
- executive funciton
- motivation
2
Q

A
- audition
- language comprehension (left)
- sensory prosody (right)
- memory
- emotion
3
Q
Parietal Lobe Functions
A
- tactile sensation
- visuospatial function (right)
- attention (right)
- reading (left)
- writing (left)
- calculaiton (left)
4
Q
Occipital Lobe Functions
A
- vision
- visual perception
- visual recognition
5
Q
Motor Aprosody
A
- failure to inflect speech with emtion
- results from lesion of right inf. frontal gyrus
6
Q
Frontal Lobe Syndromes
A
- disinhibition
- executive dysfunction
- apathy
7
Q
Temporal Lobe Lesions
A
- minor effects on audition
- major effects on language, prosody, memory, emotion
8
Q
Wernicke’s Aphasia
A
-fluent, paraphasic speech with impaired auditory comprehension, repetition, and naming
9
Q
Sensory Aprosody
A
- anaolgous to Wernicke’s aphasia
- inability to comprehend the prosody of others
10
Q
Limbic Lesions
A
-disturb emotional function
11
Q
Parietal Lobe Lesions
A
- produce deficits in tactile sensation and cognition
- visuospatial dysfunction
- inattention to contralateral space (R parietal with L hemineglect)
12
Q
Occipital Lobe Lesions
A
-visual field deficits: hemianopia and quadrentoanopia
13
Q
Visual Agnosia
A
-failure to recognize objects that are adequately seen
14
Q
Hemispheric Disconnection
A
- effects are generally mild
- L hand anomia
- agraphia
- apraxia
15
Q
Lateral Premotor Cortex
A
- aka ventral motor cortex
- responsible for learned movements in response to external stimuli (trained dog)
- also plans movements that are to be executed with delay (i.e. conforming your hand to the shape you are going to grasp)
