Neuroscience Flashcards
Frontal Lobe
Problem solving, language production
Parietal Lobe
Attention, spatial processing(Where something is)
Primary Somatosensory Cortexs
Somatosensory processing (including proprioception/orientation)
Temporal Lobe
Auditory processing, patter recognition (what something is), language processing
Occipital Lobe
Visual processing
Corpus Callosum
Connects each hemisphere
Gyrus
Fold of cortical tissue
Fissure
A cleft or separation between gyri
Sulcus
A smaller fissure that connects two regions of brain tissue
Neocortext
Higher mental functions, general movement, perception, and behavioral responses
Amygdala
Emotional responses, aggressive behavior
Hippocampus
Memory of new information and recent evvents
Corpus Striatum
Basal ganglia: Connection between cerebral cortex and cerebellum. helps regulate automatic movement
Orbitofrontal Cortext
deeper decision making, moral judgement, reflection,
and forming expections
Lateral Pre-Frontal cortex
Meta-cognition and self-awareness
Storage of verbal material
Posterior parietal cortex in left hemisphere
Storage of spatial information
Posterior parietal cortex in right hemisphere
Rehearsal of verbal material
perfrontal cortex
Maintenance of spatial information
Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
Implicit or precedural long-term memory function associated with
basal ganglia and motor cortex
Regular declarative memory can be stored through out the
medial temporal lobe
Semantic memory is linked to the
limbic (temporal) cortex

hipocampus
Case Studies and Lesion studies
Investigation of brain damage through brain conditions, and effects of brain damages by destroying specific brain parts
