Intro Flashcards
Neuroscience
Study of nervous system
What are PT’s concerned with in Neuroscience?
Function
Structure
Pathology
Frontal Lobe
Working memory (short lists, immediate memory) Emotional tone/personality
Parietal Lobe
Sensory
Speech
Occipital Lobe
Vision
Temporal Lobe
Hearing
Memory, facts and events (medial temporal)
Limbic Lobe
Emotional regulation
Location of Primary Motor Cortex
In front of anterior sulcus
Corpus Callosum
Main white fiber tracts
Allow hemispheres to talk
Insular Lobe Location
Between temporal and parietal
Insular Lobe
Emotional tone and regulation
Gray Matter
Unmyelinated cell bodies
Located along cerebral cortex
White Matter
Myelinated axons
White matter travels….
Through internal capsule
Gray Matter Components
Dorsal horn
Lateral horn
Ventral horn
