Taken Out of Cortex
This area is responsible for the activation of muscles directly involved in a specific activity such limb positioning of the humerus to allow the hands to manipulate an object.
This lobe is responsible for visual processing and can lead to homonymous hemianopsia when damaged.
What is the occipital lobe
This dermatome covers the palmar side of the little finger.
What is C8
This subcortical structure is also known as the relay station and regulates consciousness. It plays a crucial role in attention, perception, timing, and movement.
What is the thalamus
This neurological disease has characteristics such as freezing gait and difficulty with movement initiation and planning.
What is Parkinson's disease
This cortex is responsible for working memory (attention) and is important in planning and hypothesis generation.
What is the Prefrontal cortex
This lobe is responsible for executive motor function and contains Broca's area.
What is the frontal lobe.
this dermatome covers the lateral aspect of the lower edge of the deltoid muscle (known as the “regimental badge”).
what is C5
This subcortical structure plays a part in the initiation of movement and is associated with the disease Michael J. Fox has.
What is the basal ganglia
This neurologic disease can present with thenar atrophy, progressive weakness, and dysphagia. Unfortunately it is fatal.
What is ALS
This cortex is also known as the motor homunculus. It also controls the force and movement velocity.
What is the primary motor cortex
The main functions of these lobes include understanding, language, memory acquisition, face recognition, object recognition, perception, and auditory information processing.
what is the temporal lobes
This dermatome covers the medial aspect antecubital fossa, proximal to the medial epicondyle of the humerus.
what is T1
This subcortical structure's role ties emotional meaning to memories. It is also linked to the fight or flight response
What is the amygdala
This neurologic disease presents with hemiplegia and is a result of a vascular incident.
What is CVA (stroke)
This cortex is responsible for processing sensory information and lies behind the primary motor cortex.
What is the somatosensory cortex
This lobe contains the somatosensory cortex and is essential for building a coherent picture of the world around us.
What is the parietal lobe
This sensory modality term is the ability to recognize by tactile manipulation only the form and characteristics of an object such as size and shape
what is stereognosis
This system supports emotional regulation, memory, and motivation and is comprised of the amygdala, hippocampus, thalamus, and hypothalamus.
what is the limbic system
This neurological disease can be seen in females more than males and is characterized by fatigue, temperature regulation, vision problems, and numbness and tingling
What is MS
What is the parietal cortex
Some consider this the 5th lobe and it serves as a bridge between bodily experience and sentiments, play an important role in perceptual awareness, social behaviour, and strategic planning as well as be linked to anxiety disorders and autism.
What is the insula (insular lobe or insular cortex)
This sensory modality term is the ability to recognize joint position sense and awareness of static positions
what is proprioception
This subcortical structure is important for forming new long-term memories, transforming short-term memories into more permanent ones, particularly those related to facts and events. It is what may have been damaged in the oscar winning film: 50 first dates.
what is the hippocampus
This neurological disease is characterized by increased tone, abnormal reflexes, and generally appears in childhood with delayed milestones.
What is CP
