Brian Mapping
100
This is where basic level information is processed
Spinal arc
100
Heschl's gyrus is found in the ______________ lobe.
temporal
100
This cerebral hemisphere dominates speech
Left
100
This is characterized by severely impaired receptive AND expressive language.
Global aphasia
100
Which cortex is referred to as the "master of executive function?"
middle frontal cortex
200
This is where sensory information and motor planning are integrated
cerebellum
200
This lobe is primarily concerned with input of visual information and visual processing
occipital
200
This cerebral hemisphere is important for facial recognition
Right
200
This speech disorder is not characterized by muscle weakness, but is a deficit in motor planning.
Apraxia (or dyspraxia)
200
Damage to the angular gyrus results in...
alexia, dyslexia
300
An action potential occurs when
A neuron is stimulated adequately to permit ion exchange
300
The pars orpercularis and pars triangularis make up ______________ and are found in the ______________ lobe.
Broca's area; frontal
300
This cerebral hemisphere is important for spatial information
Right
300
If a person has aphasia and speech requires extreme effort, he/she likely has this type of aphasia:
Broca's aphasia
300
This philosophy maintains that particular functions can be ascribed to specific locations in the brain.
Localizationalist
400
True or false: a cell membrane can be stimulated during the absolute refractory period if provided greater than typical stimulation
False: that is true during the relative refractory period, but no amount of stimulation will cause the neuron to fire again during the ARP
400
The fusiform gyrus is found in the __________ lobe.
temporal
400
Which association area helps us integrate information about affect, motivation and emotion?
Limbic association area
400
If a person is speaking fluently but is having difficulty understanding people when they speak, he/she could be suffering from:
Wernicke's aphasia
400
Name one of the three association regions for the highest level of processing.
Prefrontal, limbic, temporal-occipital-parietal (TOP)
500
True or false: a neuron can fire at a stronger level of intensity when needed
False: a neuron can increase the frequency of firing, but only fires at a single intensity level
500
The insular cortex is found underneath the ___________ lobe.
frontal
500
Which association region is involved in language function?
Temporal-occipital-parietal-area
500
T/F: Dysarthria is characterized by muscle weakness, paresis, or paralysis.
True
500
This philosophy maintains that the brain operates as a whole unit, and you cannot effectively isolate function within the whole
Equipotentialist
