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.

Q

Primary visual cortex (area 17, V1) processes color, light, dark, raw info. Visual association (area 18, 19)- processes shapes, depth, peripheral vision. What lobe?

17
Q

Insula is supplied by what artery?

A

18
Q

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

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

24
Q

the lentiform nucleus is made up

A

Putamen- lateral Nucleus
Globus Pallidus- Medial nucleus

25
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)
Amygdaloid nucleus
26
General functions of involuntary regulation of voluntary motor control (muscle memory), habit formation influenced by dopamine, eye movement, cognition, and emotion.
Substantia Nigra (extrapyramidal- involuntary)
27
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*
Fornix
28
large, C-shaped extrapyramidal motor nucleus - located in the wall of the lateral ventricle. Amygdaloid at one end, lentiform nucleus at the other
Caudate Nucleus
29
The core of the cerebrum
Diencephalon
30
Portions of the Diencephalon
Thalamus, Hypothalamus, Epithalamus
