Cortical Mapping Flashcards
1
Q
Broca’s aphasia
A
affects motor speech
broca’s area controls movements needed for vocalizalization and sends info to motor cortex
2
Q
Wernicke’s anomia
A
affects language comprehension
wernicke’s area plans for meaningful speech
3
Q
After-discharges
A
occur after stim
desired stim is just below the threshold of after-discharges
4
Q
WADA test
A
injection of sodium amytal intracarotid, contralateral limb is anesthetized to assess language areas that are affected
5
Q
Crown of Thorns
A
helps monitor EEG
electrodes distributed evenly over the exposed cortex with cotton wick electrodes
can be placed anywhere on exposed brain
6
