Neuro cortex/sucortex Flashcards
4 Components of brain
cerebral cortex, subcortex, brain stem, cerebellum
4 lobes of cortex
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
Prefrontal cortex purpose
behavior/inhibition, short term memory, personality/emotion, planning/decision making
motor cortex purpose
initiates movement
homunculus
little man
Parietal lobe
sensory perception from periphery, calculation, spatial orientation
temporal lobe
audio cortex
occipital lobe
visual cortex
Falx cerebri
midline shift
parts of sub cortex
basal ganglia, limbic system
basal ganglia
motor response
limbic system
emotional response
amygdala
4 fs
thalamus
relay station between body and cerebral cortex
hypothalamus
neuroendocrine system
thermoregulatory center
warm sensitive vs cold sensitive (5,10)
fornix
scent connected t emotional response
hippocampus
memory storage consolidation, spatial memory
pineal gland
melatonin, circadian rhythm, seasonal cycle
reticular activating system
relay sensory info to cortex
