Localization of Dysfunction Flashcards
altered consciousness
NNN
primary motor cortex
lesion = contra deficit, activation = movement (seizure–> clonic movement)
lesion of FEF
ipsi gaze preference
orbitofrontal cortex
restraint, socially inappropriate behavior (trauma, meningioma)
frontotemporal dementia (pick’s)
progressive dementia, inappropriate behavior, poor judgement, changes in personality
mesiofrontal cortex
initiative. motivation, goal-directed behavior. akinetic mutism, incontinence, albulia
spatial attention
nondominant lobe
neglect
cortical sign
dressing apraxia, no graphesthesia, stereognosis
parietal lobe
Gerstmann syndrom
dominant parietal lobe, angular gyrus. agraphia, acalculia, finger agnosia, R/L confusion.
wernicke’s aphasia
no comprehension, conduction aphasia b/c arcuate fibers damaged due to smaller branch of MCA stroke, global aphasia due to full MCA stroke.
kluver bucy
bilateral anterior temporal poles, b/l amygdala. hypersexual. orality. irritable, aggressive. anterograde amnesia
medial temporal lobe problems
memory center. hippocampal atrophy, sclerosis
primary visual cortex defect
can be monocular, binocular. homonymous hemianopia means cortical or subcortical
macular sparing due to?
dual blood supply, PCA and MCA
