Module 6 & 7, Year 1 - Functional Neurology Flashcards
Name the area the primary motor cortex is found and its function
Frontal lobe
Conscious contralateral motor control; motor homunculus
Name the area the premotor cortex is found and its function
Frontal lobe
Integration of sensory and motor information for the performance of action.
Name the area the frontal eye fields are in and their function
Frontal lobe
Saccadic eye movement or visual searching; controls contralateral field
Name the area the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is in and its function
Frontal lobe
Executive function
Name the area the orbitofrontal cortex is in and its function
Frontal lobe
Modulation of affective and social behavior, smell discrimination
Name the area the cingulate cortex is in and its function
Frontal lobe
Drive, motivation, environmental exploration
Name the area the Broca’s Area is in and its function
Frontal lobe
Motor control of speech
Name the area the primary somatosensory cortex is in and its function
Parietal lobe
Conscious sensation of touch, pain, temperature, vibration, proprioception; sensory homunculus
Name the area the parieo-insular vestibular cortex is in and its function
Parietal lobe
Perception of vertical upright and body schema
Name the area the primary auditory cortex is in and its function
Temporal lobe
Hearing
Name the area Wernick’s Area is in and its function
Temporal lobe
Perception of speech
Name the area the primary olfactory cortex & limbic association cortex are in and their function
Smell and emotion
Name the area the primary & secondary visual cortices are in and their function
Vision, depth, and visual association; dorsal pathway tells “where” and ventral pathway tells “what”
What is the function of the thalamus?
Relay center for all sensory input (minus smell)
T or F: The thalamus is the relay center for all sensory input.
False, MINUS SMELL, it is the relay center for all sensory input
What is the function of the basal ganglia?
General motor control, eye movements, cognitive function, emotional functions
What is the function of the caudate nucleus?
Learning, storing and processing memories
What is the function of the putamen?
Regulate movement and influence learning
What is the function of the globus pallidus?
Regulation of voluntary movement
What is the function of the subthalamic nucleus?
Inhibition and movement control (indirect pathway)
What is the function of the substantia nigra?
DA and GABA production
What is the function of the nucleus accumbens?
Reward circuit
What is the function of the ventral pallidum?
Reward and motivation
What is the function of the limbic system?
Emotions, olfactory, memory, homeostatic functions
