Temporal Lobes Flashcards
Lobe that merges into visual cortex of occipital lobe and inferior portion of parietal lobe
Temporal lobe
separates the superior and middle gyri
superior temporal sulcus
forms dorsal boundary and covers the insular cortex
sylvian fissure
separates parahippocampal gyrus from fusiform (occipitotemporala) gyrus
Collateral sulcus
Where is Heschl’s located?
superior temporal sulcus
planum temporal is adjacent to?
Heschl’s gyrus
what side is the planum temporal larger on?
left side
planum temporal deals with?
speech
Wernicke’s area that deals with language is located where?
left side
Primary auditory projection is located where?
Heschl’s gyrus
Where do projections arise from in Primary auditory projection?
Cochlea sense receptors
final synapse before Heschl’s gyrus is on the
medial geniculate nucleus of thalamus
Damage to peripheral receptors result in
deafness on side of injury
damage to primary auditory cortex causes
partial deafness
damage to where results in impaired sound localization and problems with hearing bilaterally but mostly contralaterally.
auditory cortex
complete cortical deafness requires
bilateral damage
For the primary gustatory cortex, what are the two cortical projection areas?
Frontoparietal operculum and anterior insular cortex
gustatory cortex receives fibers from
posteroventral medial nucleus of thalamus
cortex located on anterior tip of temporal lobe
primary olfactory cortex
adjacent to primary olfactory cortex is __ and ____
entorhinal cortex and uncus
