Gyri Flashcards
Superior Frontal Gyrus
Supplementary motor area
Middle Frontal Gyrus
Planning of motor movements
Frontal eye fields (anterior to premotor cortex)
Inferior Frontal Gyrus
Planning of motor movements
Broca’s Area
Orbital Gyri
Crucial for social interactions and moral reasoning
Superior Temporal Gyrus
Between the sylvian fissure and superior temporral sulcus.
Primary and secondary auditory cortex
In dominant hemisphere, it’s crucial for language function
Middle temporal gyrus
Auditory and language processing
Inferior temporal gyrus
Visual processing
Fusiform Gyrus
Pattern recognition
Transverse Gyri of Heschi
Primary auditory cortex
Superior lobule of parietal lobe
Processing of visual information and establoishment of monitoring of intrapersonal and extrapersonal space
Inferior lobule of parietal lobe
Subdivided into supramarginal and angular gyri.
Language and integration of sensory info from different modalities into a unified percept.
Damage to this lobule in dominant hisphere can result in Gerstmann’s Syndrome
