Lab 9 - Cerebral Cortex 1

Question 1

primary cortex areas

Answer 1

• primary motor cortex
• primary sensory cortex
• primary visual cortex
• primary auditory cortex

Question 2

unimodal association areas

Answer 2

one assoc w/ each region of primary cortex (found adjacent to the primary cortex)

Question 3

multimodal assoc areas

Answer 3

3 broad regions in which inputs from unimodal areas converge

Question 4

thalamus role

Answer 4

integration of cortical fxns

Question 5

What happens when dysfxn of primary cortex areas?

Answer 5

clinical loss of elemental fxn

(ex: primary motor cortex dysfxn –> muscle weakness/paralysis)

Question 6

3 multimodal association areas

Answer 6

• anterior/prefrontal
• medial/limbic
• posterior/parietotemporal

Question 7

What happens with dysfxn of unimodal area?

Answer 7

agnosia (prob w/ recognition)
