25
Q

Visual brain projects to…

A

Parietal lobe.

26
Q

Parietal lobes areas

A

split into anterior somatosensory zone (1-3, 43).
Posterior zone (5,7,39,40)

27
Q

PL pathways

A

5 main pathways of the PL

28
Q

Parietal lobe

A

BA 1-3 recieves special inputs from the spinal chord.

29
Q

Anatomy of the parietal lobes (1)

A

BA 5 recieves input from BA1-3 and outputs to M1 and PMC

30
Q

Anatomy of the parietal lobes (2)

A

Anterior BA7 recieves input from BA5, M1, PMC and area 39 - outputs to M1 and PMC.

31
Q

Anatomy of parietal lobes 3

A

Posterior BA7 recieves visual, somaesthetic, proprioceptive, auditory, vestibular, oculomotor and cingulate inputs

32
Q

somaesthetic

A

Another word for somatosensory

33
Q

proprioceptive

A

the sense that provides information about the spatial position and movement of different body parts in relation to each other and the environment

34
Q

vestibular

A

relates to vestibular system, balance from inner ear

35
Q

oculomotor

A

relating to eye movemetns

36
Q

Cingulate

A

an extensive area of the limbic system that plays a key role in pain processing, particularly in the affective-motivational aspects

37
Q

Anatomy of parietal lobes (4)

A

Posterior PL is interconnected with prefrontal cortex, especially within area 46 - both PPL and PFC project to the same areas of the Temp. lobe.

38
Q

Theory of parietal lobe functions

A

Anterior zone largely connected with somatosensation - intergrates it with visual information and lesser so, but still other senses.

39
Q

Spatial processing

A

Both the anterior and posterior PL zones play a large role in spatial processing.

40
Q

Why is spatial processing important in APL and PPL

A

1) object recognition
2) navigation
3) Visuomotor processing - where vision meets somatosensation shows visually guided movements

41
Q

somatosensory symptoms of parietal lobe lesions *01

A

Primary Dmg to BA 1-3 and secondary BA 5 somatosensory cortex

42
Q

*01 How this effects the body (dmg to BA 1-3 and 5)

A

problems with proprioception and tactile perception. This can also lead to afferent paresis in fingers
May cause astereognosis (touch recognition) and anasognosia.

43
Q

Symptoms of PPC damage

A

Dmg in wernickes area; Wernickes aphasia. can cause problems in reading and writing

44
Q

Symptoms of PPC damage (2)

A

left right dsicrimination.

45
Q

left right discrimination.

A

Memory for ‘left’ vs.
‘right’ is disturbed
following lesions of left IPL

46
Q

Dyscalculia

A

An inability to do calculations mentally

47
Q

Dyscalculia causes

A

Incapability to do basic math -

48
Q

right PL dmg

A

can cause spatial cognition

49
Q

Unilateral neglect caused by …

A

dmg to IPL and adjacent regions

50
Q

Object recognition who

A

(warrington and taylor 1973)

51
Q

Object recognition (warrington and taylor 1973) what

A

showed that patients with right
PL damage could recognise an
object viewed canonically, but
not when presented noncanonically

52
Q

Object recognition support

A

dmg in right pl causing object recogniton supports right pl is used in spatial manipulations of images

53
Q

Balints syndrome

A

Balint 1909 had a case with bilateral PPC lesion - intact visual, object recognition and usage but faced
- neglect
- simultagnosia
- optic ataxia

54
Q

simultagnosia

A

when his attention was directed
towards an object, he did not notice other objects
without prompting from the examiner

55
Q

Optic ataxia

A

a severe deficit in reaching under visual guidance

56
Q

optic ataxia associarions

A

Cannot be explained by elementary
visuoperceptual, attentional, proprioceptive, or
motor deficits.
Associated with lesions around and superior to
the intraparietal sulcus

57
Q

problem with optic ataxia

A

Rarely studied (about 50 reported cases to date)
because symptoms are often subtle. not hemispherical

58
Q

the fact that its not hemispherical means

A

it is an older evolutionary function

59
Q

histoical cases

A

Crougneau (1884)
Balint (1909)

60
Q

Crougneau (1884)

A

first to decribe misreaching behaviour after PPC dmg

61
Q

Balint

A

patient innaccurate in reaching with one hand in one visual field.

62
Q
A
