Lobes of the Cortex
the extreme back of the brain
What is Occipital lobe?
cognition, behavior, emotion
What is Frontal lobe?
perception of vision, first input from eyes. hindmost part of occipital lobe.
What is Primary visual cortex?
planning of movement. area in front of primary motor cortex in frontal lobe.
What is Premotor cortex?
extending from the base of the brain; this continues into the spinal cord
What is the brainstem?
below the lateral sulcus
What is Temporal lobe?
memory and emotions
What is Temporal lobe?
input from ears. upper surface of temporal lobe.
What is Primary auditory cortex?
perception of touch from surface of body. strip behind the central sulcus in parietal lobe.
What is Somatosensory cortex?
smaller structure under the base at the back of the brain.
What is the cerebellum?
behind the central sulcus
What is Parietal lobe?
sides of frontal lobe
What is Prefrontal association cortex?
Broca's area. lower region of frontal lobe on left side only. damage to this area results in the inability to produce meaningful language.
What is Motor speech?
final output from brain to spinal cord for voluntary control of muscular movement. strip in front of central sulcus in frontal lobe.
What is Primary motor cortex?
large, paired structures; divided (left and right) by the longitudinal fissure. The outer part of the cerebral hemispheres is the cortex.
What is the cerebral hemispheres?
in front of the central sulcus and above the lateral sulcus
integration of sensory information from primary sensory areas ➜ body image
What is Parietal lobe?
Wernicke's area. region of temporal and parietal lobe on left side only. damage to this area results in the inability to understand language.
