Module 12 Arpin Review Flashcards
how many layers of neocortex
6 cellular layers
how many cytoarchitectonic areas of neocortex
over 50 cytoarchitectonic areas
neocortex includes what areas
-primary sensory and motor areas
-association cortex
cortical layer 4 of neocortex contains
stellate cells that receive input from thalamus
layer 5 and 6 of neocortex contain
pyramidal neurons whose axons leave the cortex
layer 2 and 3 of neocortex contain
pyramidal neurons that make cortico-cortical connections
unique featues of association cortex
-receives already processed sensory and motor inforamtion from pulvinar and medial dorsal nucleus of thalamus
-have more corticocortical connections (same side and opposite sides)
-more subcortical connections
parietal association cortex
involved in attention and awareness of the body and the stimuli that act on it
contralateral neglect syndrome is caused by
right parietal lesions
neurons in parietal cortex are activated only when
monkey is attending to target
temporal association cortex
involved in recognition and identification of processed sensory information
agnosias are caused by
temporal lesions
which side of temporal association cortex is more important for face/object recognition
right side
in fMRI experiements, ____ is activated when presented with a face stimulus
right fusiform gyrus
frontal association cortex
involved in guiding behavior by planning response to ongoing stimulation for remembered information
