Question
Answer
Prosencephalon   divides into telencephalon: contains cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, lateral ventricles and diencephalon: contains the thalamus, hupsthalamus, 3rd ventricle  
🗑
Mesencephalon   contains midbrain, cerebral aqueduct  
🗑
Rhombencephalon   divides into metencephalon: contains pons, cerebellum, 4th ventricle and myelencephalon: contains medulla oblongata  
🗑
General structures of cerebral cortex   3-5mm thick sheet of neuronal bodies – gray matter; gyri/gyrus – the ridges; sulci/sulcus – the grooves; fissure – larger and deeper sulcus  
🗑
Functions of Cellular Layers I-III   associational ; produce meaningful perceptual experience of the world; enable us to interact effectively, support abstract thinking and language  
🗑
Functions of Cellular Layer IV   participates in somatosensation; production of sensory modalities – touch, temp, pain, proprioception (ability to tell where your body is in space)  
🗑
Functions of Cellular Layer V   gives rise to descending motor tracts  
🗑
Functions of Cellular Layer VI   sends efferent motor fibers to thalamus (relay center – what it receives from motor feedback, it determines where it sends the msg. onward)  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 44   Broca’s  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 45   most specific to Broca’s  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 4   Primary Motor Cortex (precentral gyrus)  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 22   Wernicke’s Area (superior temporal gyrus)  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 41, 42   Primary Auditory Cortex (Heshl’s gyrus)  
🗑
Brodmann’s Area 44, 45, 47   together form the Inferior Frontal Gyrus  
🗑
Association fibers   interconnect regions within the same hemisphere; ex: arcuate fasciculus connects Broca’s to Wernicke’s areas  
🗑
Damage to arcuate fasciculus results in   conduction aphasia (can’t repeat is hallmark sign)  
🗑
Commissural fibers   connect corresponding regions of the 2 separate hemispheres; ex: corpus callosum  
🗑
Longitudinal fissure   runs anterior/posterior, separates right and left hemispheres  
🗑
Lateral fissure (aka Sylvian fissure)   divides frontal & parietal lobes from the temporal lobe below them; longer in left hemisphere; one of earliest sulci to develop, appears at ~14wks gestation  
🗑
Central sulcus   (aka fissure of Orlando) separates parietal from frontal  
🗑
Transverse fissure   divides cerebellum & cerebrum  
🗑
FRONTAL LOBE   1 vertical gyrus: precentral gyrus; 3 horizontal gyri: superior frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, inferior frontal gyrus ; made of Brodmann’s 44, 45, 47  
🗑
PARIETAL LOBE   visual attention and spatial orientation, touch perception, integration of different senses that allows for understanding of a single concept  
🗑
In the inferior parietal lobule…   the angular gyrus is important for reading  
🗑
TEMPORAL LOBE   hearing ability and processing, memory acquisition, language comprehension, Heshl’s gyrus (primary aud. cortex)  
🗑
Wernicke’s area   located in Temporal lobe; language association area in dominant hemisphere  
🗑
OCCIPITAL LOBE   primary visual cortex  
🗑
INSULAR LOBE (aka – insula, Isle of Reil)   current knowledge is minimal – functions are elusive; may play a role in the limbic system associated w/ emotion and body’s own regulation of homeostasis; may play a role in sensorimotor planning  
🗑
LIMBIC LOBE (aks Limbic system)   arc-shaped region of cortex on medial surface of each hemisphere; gives visceral functions (respiration, heart rate), provides emotional drive, generates fight/flight response  
🗑
cingulated gyrus   located in Limbic Lobe, responsible for anxiety & altered behavior  
🗑
hippocampus   Located in Limbic lobe, regulates motivation, learning, & memory  
🗑
Precentral Gyrus   the one vertical gyrus on the frontal lobe, anterior to the central sulcus  
🗑
Primary Motor Cortex   FUNCTION: regulates fine movements of face (including speaking), arms, and legs  
🗑
Premotor Cortex   FUNCTION: regulates the responsiveness of premotor and Broca’s areas (impt in specific motor speech disorders)  
🗑
Prefrontal Cortex   FUNCTION: cognitive, judgment, exec. functions, decision making  
🗑
DAMAGE to frontal lobe (esp. prefrontal cortex)   lesions here result in difficulties w/ planning, thinking, reasoning; also personality changes  
🗑
POSTCENTRAL GYRUS location   anterior boundary of the parietal lobe  
🗑
SUPERIOR PARIETAL LOBULE damage   results in sensory loss to contralateral half of body.  
🗑
INFERIOR PARIETAL LOBULE damage   in dominant hemisphere results in reading difficulties b/c of angular gyrus.  
🗑
ANGULAR GYRUS Function   important for reading  
🗑
SUPRAMARGINAL GYRUS Function   important for reading, writing, and math  
🗑
HESCHL’S GYRI   primary auditory cortex (Temporal Lobe); Brodmann’s 41, 42; buried in lateral sulcus and in front of insula  
🗑
HESCHL’S GYRI Damage   partial attenuation in hearing sensitivity  
🗑
Wernicke’s Area Damage in dominant hemisphere   fluent aphasia  
🗑
Wernicke’s Area Damage in non-dominant hemisphere   deficits perceiving music and environmental sounds; can’t comprehend them  
🗑
CALCARINE SULCUS   divides occipital into upper and lower operculum (?)  
🗑
PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX   Function: vision  
🗑
Primary Visual Cortex Damage   unilaterally: homonymous hemianopsia [one-sided blindness in both eyes; ex: rt. side of vision in BOTH eyes]; bilaterally: cortical blindness - eyeball functions okay but can’t transmit message along cortex  
🗑
SECONDARY VISUAL CORTEX   Function: gives feedback to primary visual cortex  
🗑
Secondary visual cortex Damage   visual agnosia, color agnosia, alexia, impaired visual memories  
🗑
The Insula: aka – insular lobe, Isle of Reil   located deep in the lateral fissure, outlined by circular sulcus, has both short & long gyri.  
🗑
Role of the Insula   Not a lot of info is currently known but suggestions include: it plays a role in the limbic system associated w/ emotion and body’s own regulation of homeostasis, lesion here may result in apraxia of speech, but not sure how  
🗑
Projection fibers   can be made of both efferent and afferent nerve, connect brain to thalamus, brainstem and/or spinal cord; ex: corticospinal tract –  
🗑
Corona radiate   major structure of projection fibers  
🗑
Internal capsule   white matter projection fibers between cerebral cortex & medulla (brain stem); can only be seen in horizontal or coronal sections; contains corticospinal fibers & corticobulbar fibers  
🗑
