General Flashcards
Anterior Cerebral Artery supplies
lower leg sensory
lower leg motor
supplemetary cortex
middle cerebral supplies
thalamus, internal capsule, lateral hemisphere
-trunk and face upper extremity motor and sensory; broca, wernicke
posterior cerebral supplies
occipital lobe!
lateral brainstem
anterior communicating artery
most common site for aneurysm
==>bitemporal hemianiopia
AICA
ant inf cerebellum
CN VIII
pons
PICA
medulla
PI cerebellum
dorsolateral PFC
executive function
orbitomedial PFC
mood, motivation, personality
frontal eyefield
contralateral conjugate gaze
premotor cotex
planning and initiation (esp supplementary motor)
precentral and postcentral gyrus
prmary motor and sensory cortex
Broca’s area
motor language area
parietal assocation cortex
sensory integration
neglect (from non-dom side)
Wernicke’s area (inc angular gyrus)
receptive language area-understanding language
parahippocampal gyrus/hippocampus
short-term memory
calcarine cortex
primary visual area- contralateral homonomous hemianopia
superior quadrantic vision loss
optic radiations- meyers loop im temporal lobe
inferior quadrantic vision loss
meyers loop- parietal loop
vestibular-occular reflex
semicircular ducts–>vestibular complex–>extraocular nuclei
voluntary, conjugate horizontal gaze
frontal eyefield paramedian pontine reticular formaton abducens nucleus mlf occulomotor nucleus
damage to MLF
internuclear ophthalmoplegia (eye abducts, other one does not follow; nystagmus in abducting eye)
vertical gaze center

pain
temperature
light, poorly localized touch
dorsal column
medial leminiscus
vibration, joint position, well-localized touch
spinothalamic tract/anterolateral system
neuron 1: periphery–> dorsal horn (substantia gelatinosa)
neuron 2: dorsal horn–decussates ventral white commissure–> thalamus
neuron 3: thalamus–>cerebral cortex
ALS/spinothalamic tract conveys
pain
temp
light touch sensitivity
lesions of lateral funiculus
ipsilateral UMN symptoms
lesions of dorsal funiculus
ipsilateral loss of vibratory, jt position, and well localized touc
lesions of medial lemniscus
produces sensory loss on contralateral side
lesions of anterolateral part of SC or brainstem
contralateral loss of pain and temperature sense
