Neurolab 1 (structure and function) From excel sheet Flashcards
Central sulcus
Separates primary motor (anterior) and sensory (motor) cortexes for lower extremity
Lateral fissure
Insular cortex located deep inside
Frontal lobe
Motor, premotor, prefrontal, motor speech; “Executive area” of the cerebrum
Precentral sulcus
Separates precentral gyrus from frontal gyri
Precentral gyrus
Motor (primary) cortex
Superior frontal gyrus
Prefrontal cortex and premotor cortex
Middle frontal gyrus
Prefrontal cortex, premotor cortex and visual eye movements (voluntary)
Inferior frontal gyrus
Motor speech
Parietal lobe
Somatosensory association cortex; multimodal association cortex; concerned with “What”
Postcentral sulcus
Separates postcentral gyrus from superior and inferior parietal lobules
Postcentral gyrus
Primary sensory cortex
Intraparietal sulcus
Separates superior and inferior parietal lobules
Superior parietal lobule
Sensory association cortex
Inferior parietal lobule
Multimodal association cortex
Temporal lobe
Primary and association auditory cortex; Memory; concerned with “What”
Superior temporal gyrus
Auditory association cortex
Middle and inferior temporal gyri
Memory storage
Occipital lobe
Primary and association visual cortex
Lateral occipital gyri
Visual association cortex
Preoccipital notch
Site of separation between occipital lobe and parietal lobe when cerebrum viewed laterally
Parieto-occipital fissure
Separates parietal lobe from occipital lobe; best seen from a medial view of the hemisphere
Transverse temporal gyri
Primary auditory cortex
Insular gyri
Visceral (olfactory, taste, pain) association cortex
Frontal lobe
“Executive area” of the cerebrum
Superior frontal gyrus
Prefrontal cortex; Supplementary motor area
Subcallosal area
Part of limbic system
Parietal lobe
Somatosensory association cortex; multimodal association cortex; concerned with “What”
Postcentral sulcus
Caudal/posterior sulcus of paracentral lobule
