The Brain Cont'd Flashcards
If you lesion the __________, memory deficits occur, therefore it is involved in memory.
Hippocampus
*Fig 3.27 p. 71
This is the anatomical substrate for EMOTION.
Limbic Lobe
If you lesion the __________, docility, tameness and placidity occur, therefore making it an ___________ structure.
Amygdala
Excitatory
*Fig 3.27 p. 71
If you lesion the ___________ then rage occurs, therefore making it an ___________ structure.
Septum
Inhibitory
Fig 3.27 p. 71
This DIVIDES the CORTEX into symmetrical halves.
Longitudinal Fissure
Fig 3.24 p. 68, Fig 3.25 p. 69
This section of the cortex initiates VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT involved in MOTOR COORDINATION, ABSTRACT THINKING and SPEECH.
Frontal Lobe
Fig 3.26 p. 69
This section of the cortex subserves SOMETHESIS, KINESTHESIS and TASTE.
Parietal Lobe
Fig 3.26 p. 69
The section of the cortex subserves AUDITION, OLFACTION and some memory functions.
Temporal Lobe
Fig 3.26 p. 69
This section of the cortex subserves in VISION.
Occipital
This is the study of the DIFFERENCES among different types of CORTICAL AREAS.
