Neuroanatomy
The temporal lobe is made of how many gyri and what are their names?
3 gyri
Superior temporal gyrus, Medial temporal gyrus, Inferior temporal gyrus
Divides the precentral and postcentral gyri
Central sulcus
This is responsible for integrating phonological input, written, and spoken language
Supramarginal gyrus, BA 40
Clear, colorless fluid produced in the cerebral ventricles
Cerebral spinal fluid
True of False: Broca's area fires during all aspects of speech including talking to oneself inside his/her head
True
This gyrus is responsible for facial recognition
Fusiform gyrus
Brodmann areas for the postcentral gyrus
BA 1 2 3
This location is responsible for primary visual processing
Primary visual cortex, BA 17
What divides the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes?
Lateral sulcus
How many and what are the names of the cerebral ventricles?
4 ventricles
2 lateral, 3rd and 4th ventricle
This gyrus is responsible for primary processing of language comprehension
Heschl's gyrus
Responsibility of the postcentral gyrus
Primary somatosensory cortex, receive incoming sensory information
What is the difference between primary and secondary processing?
Primary processing involves receiving incoming stimuli and secondary processing involves attaching meaning to the stimuli (i.e. primary processing sees a red round object with a brown cylindrical top and secondary processing says that the object is an apple)
What divides the 2 hemispheres of the brain?
Longitudinal fissure
What is the Mirror Neuron System?
System of neurons dedicated specifically to the imitation of actions and behaviors of others
This area is responsible for secondary processing of language comprehension
Wernicke's area
This area is responsible for secondary processing of somatosensory information
Superior parietal lobule, BA 5 7
A pooling of blood pushing the dura mater into the cortex is considered what?
Epidural hematoma
What connects the 3rd and 4th ventricles?
Cerebral aqueduct
Dorsolateral PFC, Ventromedial PFC, Orbitofrontal PFC, Visual eye field, Primary motor cortex, Supplementary motor cortex, Broca's area
These Brodmann areas are responsible for emotion processing
BA 38 & 28
This gyrus is responsible for reading comprehension and complex word meaning
Angular gyrus, BA 39
This location is responsible for secondary visual processing
Visual association cortex, BA 18 19
What is executive function?
High level cognitive processes to be efficient and effective
What produces CSF?
Choroid plexus
