Location
Occipital Lobe
Among other functions, this structure entrains the bodies clock.
Hypothalamus
Grey matter area with ~50 billion neurons.
CUMBERER
Cerebrum
Injury to the medial prefrontal cortex will result in:
List 2 Symptoms

decreased motivation/persistence
inability to perceives other's emotions
apathy
Telegraphic speech impairment is a result of damage to what area?
What is the gyrus above the corpus callosum?
What is ONE area representing body image?
Insula/Secondary somatosensory cortex/Somatosensory Association Cortex
Stores motor programs for speech/language.
COBRAS
Broca's
Altered perception of body orientation leading to pushing body to contralesional side.
Lateropulsion
Damage to a single bank of the calcarine fissure will result in:
Homonymous Quadrantanopia
Which structures are located deep within the lateral sulcus?
Secondary Somatosensory Cortex + Insula
This area helps with inhibition of the grasp reflex.
Supplementary Motor Area
Involved in the affective-dimension of pain.
A CLUSTERING GUY
Cingulate Gyrus
Alexia
Damage to this basal nuclei circuit results in impulsiveness, indifference, aggressiveness, and urinary incontinence.
Social Behavior Circuit (ventral prefrontal cortex + rostral ACC)
This area is located posterior to the postcentral gyrus and anterior to the parietotemporal association area.

RETNOTOPIC CON
Corticopontine (Pathway)
Congenital inability to interpret symbolic language.
Dyscalculia
Night terrors and panic attacks result from damage to this structure.
Amygdala
Located rostral to the pons within the medial temporal lobe.
Hippocampus/Parahippocampal gyrus
Releases dopamine and found in the basal nuclei.
Substansia nigra pars compacta
Not confined to a single region, this set of structures deals with emotion.
BEL MYSTICISM
Limbic System
Inability to produce altered tone and rhythm or associated gestures.
Motor Aprosodia
Urinary incontinence and apathetic demeanor results from damage to this structure.
