Q

where do axons from here go? what do they do?

what are the effects of damage to this area?

A

precentral gyrus

a major source of axons that extend to the spinal cord for control of voluntary movements

Damage to this area results in weakness (paresis) and movement deficits on the OPPOSITE side of the body.

Q

what action is this region associated with?

what are the sx of X?

A

superior partietal lobule

X - apraxia, inability to bring limb under sensory or cogntiive control (not being able to point to an object when asked even though he is not paralyzed)

parietal lobe dorsal to the intraparietal suclus. [a “lobule” is a smaller group of gyri within a lobe]

Q

what notable regions are found here? what processes is this area involved in in the dominant hemisphere?
what are the sx of damage?

A

inferior parietal lobule

actions: many. in the dominant hemisphere it is involved in language.
notable areas: supramarginal gyrus is a part of wernickes (needed to understand language)
angular gyrus is the gateway for visual info to get to wernickes
damage - inability to read

Q

how to test for palsy of this nerve?

A

cn 4 - trochlear

Have the patient look nasally. If he cannot then look down from that position, he may have CN IV palsy. He should also have double vision in this nasal position.

what axons pass through here? in what systems?
gracile fasciculi lemniscal system and spinocerebellar systems dorsal root axons from LOWER TRUNK and ascend the cord
30
brachium of the inferior colliculus
31
What process is this associated with? What notable structures does it contain?
**superior temporal gyrus** associated with audition containtains wernickes area
32
what is this associated with?
Middle temporal gyrus associated -- primarily with vision, particularly visual memory
33
WHat condition is associated with damage to this region?
**inferior temporal gyrus** bilateral X to the inferior temporal region can cause prosopagnosia.
34
**occipitotemporal gyrus or fusiform gyrus** associated with vision, particularly with visual memory.
35
what is this area associated with? what are sx of damage?
**uncus** associated with memory; damaged can lead to amnesia "hook-like prominence on medial parahippocampal gyri"
36
#5
**Uncus** associated with memory. bilateral damage to this structure can cause amnesia
37
Parahippocampus ## Footnote associated with memory. bilateral damage to this structure can cause amnesia

#4
heschl's gyrus - primary sensory cortex for audition unilateral X produces little sx bilateral X produces the inability to understand spoken language (since info. is cut from wernickes area)
41
Pink what is thsi a part of?
planum temporale (yellow is Hesch's g) makes up part of Wernicke's area in the dominant hemisphere; located in the temporal lobe
42
opening the l**ateral sulcus.** what vessel is this supplied by?
**Insula** suppled by MCA
43
wha system is this a part of? what thalamic nulcei sends projections here\>
cingulate gyrus the anterior portion of the cingulate g. is a part of the limbic system anterior nulcei (involved in emotions?)
44
#3 what system is this a part of?
**parolfactory gyrus (subcallosal gyrus)** limbic system.
45
what is the limbic lobe composed of?
parahippocampal + cingulate + subcallosal gyrus.
46
**septum pellucidum** ependymal seal covering lateral ventricle lateral ventricle
47

48
what two ventricles communicate through this?
interventricular foramen lateral and third ventricle
49
what does this connect?
corpus callosum homolgous areas of the two hemispheres
50
**anterior commissure** *It serves in this way to connect the two temporal lobes, but it also contains decussating fibers from the olfactory tracts, and is a part of the neospinothalamic tract for pain. The anterior commissure also serves to connect the two amygdala.*
51
what does this connect?
**posterior commissure** connects the two sides of the rostral midbrain?
52
What are sx of a tumor here?
**pineal body** 1. paralysis of upward eye movements (since pretectal does vertical eye movements) 2. no pupillary light reflex (pretectal blocked) 3. hyodrcephalus if it blocks the cerebral aqueduct

58
What does a X of this cause? What structures is this near?
optic chiasm near the infundibulum and hypothalamus X optic chiasm --\> a loss of vision in the temporal half of both visual fields: bitemporal hemianopsia
59
What does a unilateral X in the optic tract this cause?
**optic tract** A lesion of the right optic tract causes a complete loss of vision in the left hemifield: contralateral “homonymous” hemianopsia. **contralateral “homonymous” hemianopsia**
60
what does a X of this cause?
**optic nerve** loss of vision in the same eye loss of pupillary reflex in the same eye

70
what are some sx of damage to this region
**cerebellar vermis** potentially 1. disturbances in balance 2. nystagmus
71
what are some sx of damage to this region
