temporal lobe Flashcards
Damage to the fusiform face area (FFA) results in:
A) Reduced emotional expression recognition.
B) Difficulty in language processing.
C) Impaired spatial navigation.
D) Prosopagnosia
E) Deficits in object recognition.
D) Prosopagnosia
which Brodmann area is related to FFA:
A) 22
B) 37
C) 44, 45
D) 1,2,3
E) 5, 7, 39, 40
F) 17
G) 41, 42
E) 37
what does the fusiform face area (FFA) do?
A) Controlling voluntary movements.
B) Recognizing and processing faces.
C) Processing spatial information.
D) Regulating emotional responses.
B) Recognizing and processing faces.
what’s the function of the temporal lobe in relation with a stimuli
it identifies the nature of the stimuli
define agnosia
inability to recognise sensory stimuli
can see it but not recognize it
which cortex is the one affected in agnosia:
A) frontal cortex
B) temporal cortex
C) parietal cortex
D) occipital cortex
B) temporal cortex
match each type of agnosia with its deffintion
A) visual agnosia
B) propagnosia
C) movement agnosia
a) cannot distinguish between moving and stationary
b) can see but can’t recognizing visually presented objects
C) inability to recognize faces
** visual agnosia:** can see but can’t recognizing visually presented objects
propagnosia: inability to recognize faces
**movement agnosia: **cannot distinguish between moving and stationary
what does integration of sensory systems allow us to do and where does it happen
- allow us to assemble one coherent perspective of the world.
- temporal lobe
define integration of* sensory steams *
cortical function of integrating those steams of sensory information
what happens during conciousness:
A) brian integrates all sensory information into the thalamus
B) brain takes sensory information and locate where it comes from
C) brain predicts a view of the world based upon perception and prior knowledge
D) brain filters irrelevant sensory information
C) brain predicts a voew of the world based upon perception and prior knowledge
which Brodmann area is related to primary **auditory cortex: **
A) 22
B) 37
C) 44, 45
D) 1,2,3
E) 5, 7, 39, 40
F) 17
G) 41, 42
G) 41, 42
what’s the imprtoant region for integrating visual and auditory information
A) superior frontal gyrus
B) superior parieral lobule
C) middle temporal gyrus
D) inferior frontal gyrus
E) superior temporal gyrus
F) posterior superior temporal gyrus
G) inferior parietal lobule
H) parieto-ocipital lobule
I) anterior central gyrus
F) posterior superior temporal gyrus
what’s the function of the superior temporal sulcus
integrates the audio, visual information and speech processing
hippocampus is situated in:
A) frontal cortex
B) temporal cortex
C) parietal cortex
D) occipital cortex
B) temporal cortex
one of the functions of hypocampus is…..
A) initiating and coordinating muscle contractions to perform actions
B) evaluating options and choosing the best course of action
C) retrieving prior knowledge and match it with current experience
D) conveying emotions through facial expressions, gestures, and vocalizations
E) interpreting sensory information and making sense of the world
F) applying cognitive strategies to overcome obstacles and achieve goals
C) retrieving prior knowledge and match it with current experience
subregions or the hippocampus are all connected: true or false
true.
talk to each other n discuss what are seeing n if have seen it before
what’s anterrogade amnesia:
a) eightened emotional responses, anxiety, and difficulties with emotional regulation.
b) unability to form new memories properly
c) impaired swallowing, speech difficulties, paralysis or weakness in the limb
d) difficulty with purposeful movements
b) unability to form new memories properly
we just have one hyppocampus: true or false
false
we have to (R and L) and they do basically the same
mention 2 functions of hippocampus
- form declarative/explicit memory: remember facts/ experiences
- controls spatial memory: tell you were you are in space
which is the first region to die in Alzeheimer’s disease:
* frontal lobe
* cerebellum
* hippocampus
* hypothalamus
* temporal lobe
* amygdala
hippocampus
as it is where memories are stored
define code
whole pattern of neiurons firing in a certain way, time, lenght and order
which structure retrieves the codes:
* frontal lobe
* cerebellum
* hippocampus
* hypothalamus
* temporal lobe
* amygdala
hippocampus
as it is where memories are stored
major electrical cell type:
* Astrocytes
* Neurons
* Oligodendrocytes
* Eosinophils
* Schwann Cells
* Microglia
Neurons
what’s the different between exitatory neurotransmitters and inhibitory neurotransmitters?
- excitatory neurotransmitter increase the probabiluity of the target neuron to fire and action potential
- inhibitory neurotransmitters reduce the probability of the target neuron to fire an action potential
