| Question | Answer |
| Primary Motor Cortex (4) | 1. Located in precentral gyrus of frontal lobe
2. controls motor functions (somatic) |
| Pyramidal Cells | large neurons in primary motor cortext |
| Premotor Cortext (6) | 1. Located anterior to precentral gyrus
2. controls more complext movements
3. involved in PLANNING movements |
| Frontal Eye Field (8) | 1. Located anterior to premotor cortext
2. controls eye movement-especially when lookin at target |
| Broca's (45) | 1. Left Cerebral Hemisphere- manages speech production
2. Right Cerebral Hemisphere- adds emotion to spoken words |
| Primary Somatosensory Cortex (1) | 1. Located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe
2. Contralateral- Receives sensory nerve signals from opposites side of body |
| Association Somatosensory Area (7) | 1. Located posterior to Primary Somatsensory Cortex
2. touch feel, etc
3. uses memories of previous sensory inputs |
| Primary Visual Cortex (17) | 1. Located deep in calcarine sulcus
2. first of a line of interpreters of visual inputs |
| Visual Association Areas | 1. Surrounds Primary Visual Cortext covering occipital lobe
2. continues interpretation of visual inputs-color, form and movement |
| Primary Auditory Cortex (41) | 1. Function: interpret sound inputs by rhythm, pitch, and loudness
2. Location: Superior Edge of Temporal bone |
| Auditory Association Area (22) | 1. Location is posterior to primary auditory cortex
2. EVALUATION OF SOUND: interprets sound to spoken words or thunder |
| Wernicke's Area | 1. Located in Auditory Association Area
2. Left Hemisphere region that helps understand and recognize SPOKEN WORDS |
| Gustatory Cortex | 1. conscious awareness of TASTE stimuli
2. located in roof LATERAL SULCUS |
| Vestibular Cortex | 1. Located in posterior part of insula, deep to lateral sulcus
2. responsible for sense of BALANCE |
| Olfactory Cortex | 1. Located in piriform lobe
2. Connected to part of brain dealing with emotion
3. provides conscious awareness of SMELLS |
| Association Areas | Make associations between different types of sensory information |
| Prefrontal Association | 1. Anterior Association Area
2. most complicated and accounts for a lot of stuff
3. large region of frontal anterior to motor cortex
4. SEPARATES HUMANS FROM ANIMALS |
| General Interpretation | 1. Posterior Association Area
2. Location: interface of visual, audiotry, and somatosensory association areas
3. integrates all theses senses to FORM UNIFIED PERCEPTION
4. Awareness of spatial location of body |
| Language Association Area | 1. Left Cerebral Hemisphere surrounds lateral sulcus
2. Two main parts:
-Brocha- Speech production
-Wirnkie's area- speech comprehension |
| Left Hemisphere | -deals more with logic, math, and language
-Intelligence |
| Right Hemisphere | -deals more with emotions, reading facial expressions, visuals
-BIG PICTURE |
