Q

3 types of fibre connecting white matter (basal ganglia) in the cerebrum

A
  1. association fibres; within hemisphere
  2. commissural fibres; between hemispheres
    -corpus collasum
  3. projectional fibres; cerebral cortex to or from lower areas
    -internal capsule
21
Q

three major areas of each cerebral hemispoher

A

primary sensory areas

primary motor areas

association areas (sensory and motor)

PNS tract–> thalamus as relay then go to appropriate cortical area

22
Q

primary motor cortex and primary somatosensory cortex… pre or post central gyrus

A

motor: precentral gyrus

sensory: postcentral gyrus

23
Q

brocas vs wernickes

A

brocas for motor speech

wernickes to interpret and understand language

24
Q

primary somatosensory area

primary visual area

primary auditory area

primary gustatory area

primary olfactory area

A

somatosensory; postcentral gyrus
–> cortical mapping homunculus

visual; occipital lobe

auditory; temporal lobe

gustatory; insula

olfactory; temporal

25
Q

primary motor area

A

-corticobulbar tract
-corticospinal tract

start from pyramidal cells in pre central gyrus of frontal lobe (pyramidal tract)

-also a homunculus (hand and face most)

voluntary movements

get input from premotor area, sensory cortex, thalamus, basal ganglia, cerebellum

26
Q

premotor area

A

in front of primary motor area

its where the movements are learned and preformed several times; stored as an algorithm

27
Q

Frontal eye field

A

pre motor area
-voluntary, synchronized mvoemtn of eyeballs

left centre makes both eyes go right

right centre makes both eyes go left

28
Q

brocas area

A

pre central gyrus, left side of brain

motor signals for voice
-speak word

-broaca aphasia; can understand speech, but cant speak

29
Q

wernickes area

A

left tempororparietal junction

for understanding language

wernickes aphasia; empty, fluent speech, cant comprehend

30
Q

where do wernickes and brocas connect

A

arcuate fascicules - white matter tract

if damage tract= conduction aphasia
-cant comprehend and articulate
-cant repeat heard speech

31
Q

association area

A

adjacent to primary areas; create comprehensive perception
-integrate and interpret signals
-store in long term memory

-somatosensory association cortex
-visual association area
-audtiory association area

-astereognosis- cant recognize an object placed in hand

32
Q

common integrative area

A

integrate signals from primary areas

33
Q

left vs right hemisphere function

A

left: receive somatic sensory signals from and controls muscles on right side of body
-spoken and written language

right: receives somatic sensory signals and controls muscles on left side of body

34
Q

diencephalon

A

thalamus; mostly sensory nuclei, processing and distrubtuioon centre, relay info
