Q
Identify these areas on brain
A
NERVOUS SYSTEM 11
Localisation of cortical function
- Evidence from brain damage, brain stimulation, brain recording
- Broca’s area (motor control of speech)
- Wernicke’s area (meaning of language)
- Primary motor cortex
- Primary somatosensory cortex
- Primary visual cortex
- Primary auditory cortex
- Association areas
- Frontal lobes (prefrontal cortex) - personality
2
Q
Electroencephalograph (EEG)
A
Alpha and beta waves (alpha = 8 to 12 hz) (beta = 12.5 till 30 hz)
- Demonstrates specialisation of hemispheric function
- Recording of evoked responses
- Demonstrates activity of primary sensory areas and association areas (higher level processing)
