What is the role of posterior parietal association cortex?
it receives input from the visual, auditory and somatosensory systems
What is the role of secondary motor cortex?
thought to be involved in programming specific movements after taking instructions from the association cortex
what is the role of the Occipital face area (OFA) ?
it is activated when you see a face and works out if something is a face
what is the handy model divided into
the core system specialised system and the extended system which is more face-related but more general function
what are efferent nerves
Nerves that send signals from the CNS to muscles
what are afferent nerves
Sensory signals from the whole body to the CNS
what do nociceptors detect
pain
What kind of impairment does someone with autotopagnosia have?
The loss of ability to recognise parts of ones or someone else’s body
What part of the brain is tonotopically organised and what does it mean?
auditory cortex
What part of the brain is somatotopically organised and what does it mean?
primary somatosensory cortex
what is proprioception ?
body awareness
dorsal stream
spatial information
Mechanoreceptors detect change in what kind of stimuli?
vibration, sound and acceleration
What is Apraxia?
the inability to perform voluntary movements
What is Contralateral Neglect
the who fail to respond to stimuli on the opposite side of the body to where the lesions has happened
Which part of the brain sends instructions to the muscles that allow you to move?
the primary motor cortex
What does damage to the cerebellum result in?
movement control and clear speech
FIRST PART OF OFA
it is activated when you see a face
ITALIAN BLOKE
GIAMO RIZZOLATTI
why cant you tickle yourself
consequences of our movements are attenuated for
MONKEY BRAIN
PRE-MOTOR CORTEX
What did Gauthier et al (1999) suggest was an alternative role for the FFA?
That the fultiform face area is more about within category expertise acquisition
What is the role of the superior temporal sulcus (STS)?
Responds to changeable aspects of the face
PROSOAGNOSIA
FACE BLINDNESS
CANT RECOGNISE FEAR
AMYGDALA
CANT SEE DISGUST
FFA - INSULA
HANDY MODEL DIVISONS
CORE SYSTEM AND EXTENDED SYSTEM
ffa role
responds to stable aspects of a face
