Frontal Lobe
What is the purpose of the Cerebrum?
It initiates and coordinates movement and regulates temperature.
Where is the occipital lobe located?
In the Rearmost area of each cerebral hemisphere.
What is the Temporal Lobes role?
Primarily involved with auditory perception, however also plays an important role in memory, specific perception such as recognition of objects and peoples faces as well as emotional responses to sensory information and memories. Also plays a role in determining what objects are.
What are 3 parts of the brainstem?
Midbrain, Pons, abd Medulla oblongata
what does the cerebellum do?
Helps coordinate and regulate a wide range of functions.
Why is it important to the nervous system?
It sends messages to the brain.
What is the occipital lobe?
The occipital lobe is the region of the brain that is responsible for receiving visual stimulation. This means that it processes things that we see and helps us understand them.
Where are the Hippocampus and Amygadala found specifically within the Temporal Lobe?
Next to eachother towards the middle of the temporal lobe, in an area called the medial temporal lobe. Generally memory loss disorders ainvolve damage around these areas in either of both hemispheres
Where is the brainstem located?
Near the bottom of the brain, connects the brain to the spinal cord
Where is the cerebellum located?
At the back of the head, below the temporal lobe and occipital lobes, and above the brainstem.
What dangers can occur?
Lose decision making
lose eyesight
lose motor functions
What are the functions of the occipital lobe?
The Occipital Lobe is almost exclusively devoted to the sense of vision.
The largest visual area in the occipital lobe is the primary visual cortex.
What are roles of the association areas that are found within the temporal lobe?
Different association areas play roles in memory and perception. For example in long-term memory:
-receiving, processing and storing factual memories (semantic memories)
-how to do things (procedural memories)
-personal experiences such as birthdays and holidays (episodic memories)
also involved in:
object identification and face recognition.
Blood clots, brain tumors, encephalitis, stroke, TBI
What are 4 functions of the cerebellum?
What is the Frontal lobe in charge of?
Cognitive skills
Where is the primary visual cortex located?
at the base of each occipital lobe and this is the major destination of visual information from the two eyes.
What are the five pathways of the temporal lobe?
Hierarchical Sensory Pathway, Dorsal auditory pathway, Polymodal pathway, Medial temporal projection, frontal lobe projection
What does the brainstem do?
serves a critical role in regulating certain involuntary actions of the body, such as heartbeat ans breathing
What parts of the brain is affected by the cerebellum?
cerebral cortex, spinal cord, vestibular nuclei,and the brainstem
What can happen when it functions correctly
Controls the language and emotions
What are the functions of its association areas?
Interact with the primary visual cortex in each occipital lobe to select, organize and integrate visual information.
Also interact with association areas in other lobes to integrate visual information with other information such as memory, language and sounds in order to organize and interpret the visual information in a meaningful way.
Asymmetry of temporal lobe
Damage to left temporal lobe associated w/deficits in verbal memory, deficits in processing speech sounds
Can the brainstem die?
yes, this may be caused by cardiac arrest, heart attack, stroke, or a blood clot
What are symptoms of a damaged cerebellum?
Ataxia, uncoordinated movements, imbalance, speech problems. visual problems, and vertigo
