WEEK1-CORTEX,LOBES,METHODS

Question 1

Describe what is SULCI / sulcus and what is GYRI / gyrus

Answer 1

SULCI = the infolded cortex regions 
GYRI = The tops of the folded tissue visible from the outside

Question 2

Describe what are grey and white matter

Answer 2

GREY matter = cortex parts containing loads of cell bodies

WHITE matter = regions below the cortical surface that connect cell bodies through their axons = appear white

Question 3

The Central Sulcus separates which lobes

Answer 3

Parietal and Frontal

Question 4

Sylvian Fissure separates which lobes

Answer 4

It separates the temporal lobe from frontal and parietal lobes

Question 5

Names for the separation between occipital and parietal lobes; and between occipital and temporal lobes

Answer 5

• PARIETO-OCCIPITO SULCUS (occipital separated from parietal)
• PRE-OCCIPITAL NOTCH (occipital separated from temporal)

Question 6

Is vision only linked to the occipital lobe / describe

Answer 6

Not entirely - VISION connects occipital with temporal and parietal lobes through two processing systems

Question 7

Name the 2 processing systems involved in vision and their specialisation

Answer 7

DORSAL PATHWAY = for objects spatial localisation

VENTRAL PATHWAY = for objects recognition

Question 8

How is the front vs back of brain called in the field
How is the above part and below part called
How is the middle called and away from middle

Answer 8

Posterior and Anterior = front and back
Superior and Inferior = above and below
Medial = towards the middle and Lateral = away from the middle

Question 9

What is saggital view of brain vs Horizontal vs Coronal

Answer 9

Saggital = cuts the 2 hemisphere at corpus callous
Horizontal = cuts brain top vs down horizontally
Coronal = cuts brain front vs back
