Landmarks
This feature separates the parietal lobe from the occipital lobe
Parieto-occipital Notch
Secondary Somatosensory Cortex
BA 40
Supramarginal Gyrus
22
Number knowledge, arithmetic, and calculation skills are thought to be housed in this sulcus
Intraparietal
This feature separates the temporal lobe from the occipital lobe
Preoccipital Notch
An insult to the Secondary Somatosensory Cortex could result in this type of agnosia
BA 39
Angular Gyrus
The primary site of auditory reception in the brain
Heschl's gyrus (41,42)
This area at the anterior tip of the temporal lobe is frequently damaged in traumatic brain injury
Temporal Pole (BA 38)
The gyrus just posterior to the central sulcus
Post-Central Gyrus
This functional area is the sensory counterpart to the motor strip
Primary Sensory Cortex
The supramarginal gyrus is thought to play a major role in this early pre-literacy skill
Phonological Awareness
Fluent but empty speech, poor auditory comprehension, little insight, poor repetition
Part of the inferior aspect of BA 37, responsible for facial recognition
Fusiform Gyrus
Number of "lobules" in the parietal lobe
2 (superior and inferior)
This sulcus separates the post-central gyrus from the superior and inferior parietal lobules
Post central sulcus
Damage to the Angular gyrus frequently results in this body-knowledge deficit
Neglect
Number of primary gyri on the temporal lobe
3 (Superior, Middle, Inferior)
BA 20
Parahippocampal gyrus
Wernicke's area is located on this gyrus
Superior Temporal Gyrus
The Primary Sensory Cortex is made up of these Brodmann areas
1, 2, 3
Damage to the angular gyrus can result in this syndrome, the symptoms of which include acalculia, agraphia, right-left deficits, and finger agnosia
Gerstmann Syndrome
BA of the middle temporal gyrus
21
Function of the hippocampus
