Functions of Lobes
Cerebral Blood Supply
Cortex Function / Memory
Memory
100

This lobe’s primary functions are speech, memory, and auditory

  1. Temporal

100

The occipital lobe is primarily supplied by which artery?

Posterior cerebral artery

100

Where is the primary motor cortex located?

Precentral gyrus

100

This type of memory allows you to ride a bike without thinking and is supported by the basal ganglia for habit learning?

Procedural (non-declarative) memory

200

 What lobe is also known as the emotional brain

Limbic system/Cingulate gyrus

200

Provide one symptom resulting from a stroke in the posterior cerebral artery

Cortical blindness, contralateral hemisensory loss, flaccid hemiparesis, eye paralysis/paresis, severe pain

200

Describe the location of the postcentral gyrus and its function.

Located immediately posterior to the central sulcus and functions as the primary sensory cortex.

200

This memory system enables you to consciously recall your last vacation and depends on the hippocampus in the medial temporal lobe?

Declarative memory

300

If someone is behaving more erratically and has trouble with motor control following a TBI, which lobe was likely injured?

Frontal

300

Damage to which artery does NOT cause Homonymous hemianopia?

Anterior cerebral artery

300

What part (medial or lateral) of the primary motor cortex is responsible for the lower extremity?

Medial

300

This system temporarily holds information like a phone number and involves interaction between the prefrontal cortex and parietal regions?

Working memory

400

If someone is experiencing impaired sensory perception and integration following a TBI, which lobe was likely impacted?

Parietal

400

Which parts of the body are most affected by a stroke in the middle cerebral artery

upper limb and face

400

This memory is the collection of specific personal events such as who was there for you during your High School graduation ceremony.

Episodic memory

400

Declarative memory differs from procedural memory in that it requires this type of awareness for recall?

Conscious

500

If someone is experiencing vision impairments following a concussion, what lobe was likely impacted?

Occipital

500

What percentage of ischemic strokes affect the brainstem/cerebellar region?

20%

500

When studying for a very tough neuro exam at the end of the semester, what type of memory are you using to differentiate the differences in episodic and semantic memory?

Semantic

500

Procedural memory develops through these 3 stages of motor skill learning?

Cognitive, Associative, and Automatic
