Q

What do the primary motor and premotor areas do?

A

Primary- Area 4, executive motor function- voluntary motor movement begins here.
Premotor- Area 6, Takes over the firing for area 4 once a movement is learned. Now automatic.

A

Occipital

17
Q

Insula is supplied by what artery?

A

Middle cerebral artery

18
Q

Consciousness, homeostasis, perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive functioning, psychopathology, empathy, compassion, memory from sensory touch

A

Insula

19
Q

Provides the awareness to think “something is wrong” or “that doesn’t look right”

A

Anterior Cingulate Gyrus

20
Q

Part of limbic system, emotion formation & processing, memory, love, linking motivation and learning!

Superior to corpus callosum

A

Cingulate gyrus

21
Q

What is the limbic system?

A

Behavior and emotional response

22
Q

Consolidates short term to long term memory, special memory, navigation

A

Hippocampus

23
Q

White matter that connects the left and right hemispheres

A

corpus callosum

the lentiform nucleus is made up

A

Putamen- lateral Nucleus
Globus Pallidus- Medial nucleus

25
Q

Pea-shaped structure, in temporal lobe, part of the basal ganglia, associated with the olfactory and limbic system (emotions and smells are processed in the same area of the brain)

A

Amygdaloid nucleus

26
Q

General functions of involuntary regulation of voluntary motor control (muscle memory), habit formation influenced by dopamine, eye movement, cognition, and emotion.

A

Substantia Nigra (extrapyramidal- involuntary)

27
Q

fiber tract from (and some to) the hippocampus to the mammillary nucleus (part of the limbic system)
* Between hippocampus and hypothalamus
* Probably long term recall*

A

Fornix

30
Q

Portions of the Diencephalon

A
