Exam 2 Flashcards
ACA Stroke Symptoms
transcortical motor aphaisa- hesistant speech
Cingulate cotex damage- emotional regulation problems
Frontal cortex- executive functions, impulsvitiy, disinhibition
MCA Stroke Symptoms
aphasias (broca and wernicke) Arcuate is intact- can repeat language agnosias- object on left, faces on right visuospatial deficits and contralateral sensorimotor signs, unilateral visual neglect hand is more impairment than foot
PCA Stroke Symptoms
memory and fear responses are distrubed
visual and verbal memory, consciousness, movement and sensorimotor deficits due to brainstem-
cranial nerves 1-4
left hemisphere stroke
depression and catastrophic reactions (language)
right hemisphere strokes
indifference to deficits and increases over time
apperceptive agnosia
impaired visual perception- cannot recognize objects- usually diffuse damage in ventral stream
associative agnosia
impairment in persons ability to associate a percept with meaning- can still copy objects- damage is L, R, B occipitotempral region
prosopagnosia
cant recognize faces- bilateral damage- inferior tempo occiptial- just beneath calcarine fissure- asymetrically represented in R hemisphere
visual form agnosia
recognize line drawings of objects- ventral stream damage- LO region
optic ataxia
deficit in visually guided hand movements- occipitoparietal regions-
multagnosia
unable to perceive more than one object at a time- damage in ventral stream- diffuse
Alexia
inability to read- left hemisphere- word memory- left fusiform and left lingual area damage
topographical disorientation
inability to find ones way around- posterior cortex, posterior cingulate, parahippocampal, and lingual gyri
Simultanagnosia
Simultanagnosia – impairment in multi part or multielement visual displays
Dorsal simultanagnosia – post parietal
Ventral simultanagnosia – inferior temporooccipital
Body part phantoms
pain and feeling amputated body parts
evidence for mental schema
90% of amputees
inferior parietal lobe activation when “moving” phantom limbs(supramarginal and angular gyrus)
