---|---|
What are the major structures of the forebrain? | The two cerebral hemispheres, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus |
What are the 4 lobes? | Frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal |
What lobe is in front of the central sulcus and superior to the lateral fissure? | Frontal Lobe |
What is the function of the primary motor cortex? | Controls voluntary movement |
What is the function of Broca’s area? | It controls speech, involved in movements involved in speech, and grammatical structure |
What is involved in planning impulse control, adjusting behavior in response to rewards or punishments, and decision making ? | The prefrontal cortex |
What lobes are located superior to the lateral fissure and also between the central sulcus and the occipital lobe? | The parietal lobes |
Areas that carry out further processing beyond what the primary area does, often combining information from other senses | Association areas (within lobes) |
What lobes contain the auditory projection area, visual & auditory association areas, and language area? | Temporal Lobes |
What is the role of the inferior temporal cortex? | Plays major role in the visual identification of objects |
What part of the brain receives information from ALL of the sensory systems except small and relays it to cortical projection areas? | The Thalamus |
What is the structure inferior to the thalamus that controls emotions and motivated behaviors? | The Hypothalamus |
What is the corpus callosum? | A dense band of fibers that carry information between the hemispheres |
Where is the visual cortex located? | In the occipital lobes |
What are ventricles filled with? | Cerebrospinal fluid |
What contains structures that have secondary roles in vision, hearing, and movement | The Midbrain |
What does the superior colliculi do? What does the inferior colliculi do? | Helps guide ur movements and fixation of gaze Helps locate the direction of sounds |
The spinal cord is a finger sized cable of neurons, but what does it do? | It carries commands from the brain to the muscles & organs, and sensory information into the brain |
Which of the following is NOT involved in producing movement? Hippocampus, cerebellum, frontal lobes, or basal ganglia? | Hippocampus |
