Q

What is the function of the Premotor cortex (3)

A

Plan movements by selecting and sequencing basic motor movements into complex tasks, coordinate movements and can control voluntary actions that DEPEND on sensory feed back

Q

What is the Broca area

A

Specialized in speech and preparation of speaking.

21
Q

What is the frontal eye field

A

Controls voluntary movements

22
Q

What is the primary somatosensory cortex

A

Receives info from somatic sensory receptors and proprioceptors.

23
Q

What does the somatosensory association cortex do

A

integrate and analyze somatic imput, meaning you don’t need to look to know what it is.

24
Q

What does the primary visual cortex do

A

map of the visual space of the retina , receives and integrates .

25
Q

What does the visual association area do

A

Interprets visual images based on prior experience ( face recognition)

26
Q

What does the primary auditory cortex do

A

Sound is evaluated for pitch,loudness and rhythm.

27
Q

What does the auditory association area do

A

interpretation based on memory (speech words etc)

28
Q

What is the function of the vestibular cortex

A

Awareness of balance

29
Q

What does the olfactory cortex do

A

Awareness of smell.

30
Q

What does the gustatory cortex do?

A

Aware of different taste

31
Q

What does the Visceral sensory area do

A

Aware of the things inside your body ( digestion etc.)

32
Q

What is the function of the multimodal association

A

receives inputs and sends multiple output in areas

33
Q

What is the function of the anterior association area (Prefrontal cortex)

A

Intellect, complex learning, recall and personality. It also is part of the abstract like ideas, judgment and concern. It matures slowly.

34
Q

What is the function of the posterior association area

A

Stores complex memories with sensory input. Localizing of self and surroundings of space. Recongnition of patters and understanding of written and spoken language.

35
Q

What is the function of the limbic association area

A

Emotional impact, sense danger based on prior experience.

36
Q

What is cerebral dominance

A

Hemisphere that is dominant for language

37
Q

What is the function of cerebral white matter

A

Communicatio between cortex and lower CNS

38
Q

What are commissural fibres

A

the connection between the two hemisphere.

39
Q

What is the largest fibre that connects the two hemispheres

A

Corpus callosum

40
Q

What are the association fibres

A

They connect within the hemisphere.

41
Q

What are projection fibres

A

They connect with the cortex and the rest of the nervous system.

42
Q

What are the basal nuclei composed of

A

The caudate nucleus,putamen and globus pallidus

43
Q

What is the function of the basal nuclei

A

Motor function directed by primary motor cortex. Responsible for the intensity ,starting and stopping of the movement. (Also with emotions I guess)

44
Q

What are the three parts of the diencephalon

A

Thalamus,hypothalamus and epithalamus ( 3rd ventricule)

45
Q

What is the interthalamic adhesion

A

The midline that holds the thalamus

46
Q

What is the function of the thalamus

A

sorting and editing information.It plays a role in sensations,motor activities ,cortical arousal,learning and memory.

47
Q

What are the main function of the hypothalamus

A

Automatic control center
Center of emotion response
body temperature regulation
regulation of food intake
regulation of water balance
regulation of sleep cycles
control of endocrine system

48
Q

What is the function of the epithalamus

A

Can send pineal gland, in other words melatonin.
