Exam 1 Areas of the Brain and Neuro matrix Flashcards
amygdala
memory emotion fear affection and most active with pain
primary somatosensory cortex
somatic sensation and visual stimuli and movement planning
hippocampus
short to long term memory
anterior consulate cortex
BP, HR, rewards, decisions, empathy, emotion concentration and focus
primary motor cortex
plan and execute movement
hypothalamus and thalamus
ANS, controls body temp hunger thirst, sleep, fatigue, relays consciousness, sleep and alertness
prefrontal cortex
planning complex cognitive behavior and decision making and personality social behavior
cerebellum
movement balance coordination fear and proprioception
spinal cord
gating from the periphery
Consequences amygdala
altered perception of fear,
consequences primary somatosensory cortex
altered body charts, spreading pain, and decreased acuity, and distortion of body parts
consequences of hippocampus
short term memory issues
anterior cingulate cortex consequences
inability to regulate BP, mental fog and fatigue and difficulty reading
primary motor cortex consequences
difficulty planning and executing movements
consequences hypothalamus and thalamus
can’t regulate body temp, changes in eating, more tires, and can’t sleep
