Structure of the Cortex and the Endocrine System Flashcards
Unit 2
Each brain hemisphere is divided into four lobes that are separated by:
Prominent fissures
The surface of the cortex has peaks called:
Gyri
The surface of the cortex has valleys called:
Sulci
Means the brain controls the other side of your body
Contralaterality
Involved with speaking, making plans, judgements, goal setting and controls personality, stability and behavior:
The Frontal Lobe
Who suffered damage to the frontal lobe?
Phineas Gage
Where is the lobotomy site?
The Frontal Lobe
Controls voluntary movements:
Motor Cortex
What is linked to the thalamus by basal ganglia?
Motor Cortex
Receives info about touch from sense organs
Somatosensory Cortex
Controls sensations of touch, pressure, temperature, and pain:
Parietal Lobe
Vision Center for processing symbols, angles. shapes, shadows, and movements:
Occipital Lobe
Hearing and speech center; contains olfactory area:
Temporal Lobe
What controls some intellectual and emotional activities
The Temporal Lobe
Where is the Auditory Cortex?
Above the ear
