Q

What does the supplementary motor cortex area do

A

It’s active before movement occurs
responsible for preparation or initiation of the moment
works in sequencing (planning) goal directed movements
involved with more complex programmed motor acts
procedural memory

Q

What does the supplementary motor cortex area use as cues

A

Internal cues

17
Q

What is akinesia

A

Loss or impairment of voluntary movement

18
Q

What does the frontal Eye field do

A

Voluntary eye movements

Saccades

19
Q

What does a lesion in the frontal Eye field result in

A

Problems with lateral gaze (deviation of the eyes to the same side as the lesion)

20
Q

What does Broca’s area do

A

Production of speech (left)

nondominant emotional content of speech (right)

21
Q

What does a lesion and Broca’s area results and

A

Expressive aphasia

inability to produce emotional content of speech (right side lesion)

22
Q

What does the prefrontal cortex do

A

Receives info and integrates it with the state of the environment mediates arousal states, inhibition
motivation and initiation of activity
working memory and attention

23
Q

What does a lesion on the prefrontal cortex result in

A

Difficulty with behavior, disinhibition
perseveration
personality changes
emotional lability attention goal formation and execution

24
Q

Approximately 90% of individuals with the brain injury have what part of their brain injured

A

The prefrontal cortex

25
Q

What kind of people have lots of activity in the prefrontal motor cortex area

A

Altruistic

26
Q

What is a functional MRI

A

A safe way to Map the brain that measures blood flow to certain areas in the brain during a task

27
Q

When does the frontal lobe become intact

A

Late adolescence early adulthood
