EXAM 1 Flashcards
cranial nerves
olfactory optic oculomotor (eye movement) trochlear (eye movement) trigeminal (touch/pain) abducens (eye movement) facial auditory glossopharyngeal (throat muscles) vagus (internal organs) spinal accessory (neck muscles) hypoglossal (tongue, taste)
left brain
sequential, logical, language
right brain
random, whole-picture, prosody
maclean’s triune hypothesis
neocortex (external) = neomammal, high level thinking
limbic (middle) = old mammal, emotion
reptilian = basic functions
sulci
groove
gyri
bump
choroid plexus
cerebral
creates cerebral spinal fluid
occipital lobe
visual info
cerebral
relays to thalamus
temporal lobe
auditory and language
wernickes area, fusiform gyrus, fusiform face area
auditory nerve -> thalamus -> auditory cortex
wernickes area
temporal lobe
speech comprehension
fusiform gyrus
temporal lobe
color, words, numbers
fusiform face area
temporal lobe
facial recognition
damage results in synesthesia and facial recognition issues = prosopagnosia
parietal lobe
somatosensory primary somatosensory cortex mapped to body abstract concepts spacial orientation (right) angular gyrus crossed arm test damage results in unilateral neglect
angular gyrus
parietal lobe
left side
understand metaphors
temporal-parietal-occipital junction
frontal lobe
motor cortex
brocas area, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex
phineas gage - injury to frontal lobe results in no filter (primal damage)
brocas area
left frontal lobe
language
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
frontal lobe
planning, organization, rewards
damage results in repetition
orbitofrontal cortex
frontal lobe
decision making, emotion, risks
ventrolateral prefrontal cortex
frontal lobe
response inhibition, emotion supression
corpus callosum
connects hemispheres
split brain
L/R work independently
awareness linked to processing of left hemi speech info
olfaction split brain
ipsilateral
rose experiment: smell w R nostril –>info to R hemi
L hand can write
R hand can’t write
Can’t identify
shows that information has to get to the left speech centers
visual split brain
contralateral
face experiment
flash face on R –> info to L hemi, say correct word
flash face to L –> info to R hemi, draws, face, can’t say word
periaqueductal gray
midbrain
pain
species typical behavior
limbic system
midbrain
regulates emotion/motivation
hypothalamus
midbrain
endocrine
4 fs - fighting, fleeing, feeding, fornicating
hippocampus
midbrain
memory and learning
amygdala
midbrain
fear, anger, aggression
olfactory bulb
midbrain
smell
linked to limbic memory
cingulate gyrus
midbrain
integrates limbic drive, frontal decision, and movement
thalamus
midbrain all sensory info 3 thalamic nuclei lateral geniculate nucleus - vision medial GN - audition ventroposterior nucleus - pain/touch
basal ganglia
midbrain
manages well learned behavior
caudate nucleus + putamen = striatum
globus pallidus
subthalamic nucleus
sunstantia nigra - neurons from SN to striatum to control movements = nigro-striatal path
damage: more effort for learned movement and parkinson’s
hindbrain
cerebellum - fine tuned movement
reticular formation - arousal
pons - sleep and arousal
spinal cord - sensory info dorsal, motor ventral
medulla oblongata - respiration, cardio control
cranial nerves (12) - facial movement
CNS
brain and spinal cord
nucleus
collection of cell bodies in CNS
ganglion
collection of cell bodies in PNS
dorsal route ganglions afferent to spinal cord
ventral route ganglions efferent to muscles
afferent vs efferent
afferent - in
efferent - out
glial cells
most common cells CNS and PNS facilitate growth and function glial ratio = intelligence? oligodendrocyte, astrocyte, microglia, radial glia, schwann cells
oligodendrocyte
glial cell CNS
produce myelin
