Brain
Wrinkles and folds on the surface of cerebral hemispheres
What is gyri?
Language processing (including comprehension of spoken word) predominately occurs on this hemisphere.
What is the left hemisphere?
Although one of the top causes of TBI, this is also the most fatal.
What is firearms?
Occurs when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into surrounding areas
What is a Hemorrhagic CVA?
The protective layer between brain and skull
What is the Meninges?
This region of the brain is responsible for executive functioning, self insight and emotional regulation
What is frontal lobe?
Information/type of memory that is consciously remembered.
What is explicit/declarative memory?
Loss of consciousness or period of confusion is less than 30 minutes.
What is Mild TBI?
Medical Treatment for this form of CVA would include clot dissolving drug and blood thinners
What is an Ischemic CVA?
What is hippocampus?
This region of the brain's name means "little brain".
What is the Cerebellum?
Somatosensory processing and the somatosensory homunculus are located here.
What is the postcentral gryus?
After this age, men and women are equally likely to experience a TBI.
What is 65?
Cluster of abnormally formed blood vessels.
What is an AVM?
Number of spinal nerve pairs.
Stereotypic movement is stored here.
What is the basal ganglia?
Primary motor cortex, supplemental motor area, motor association area, premotor cortex, and frontal eye fields are all needed for this process to occur.
What is motor planning?
Inability to recognize presence or severity of damage.
What is anosognosia?
Fast stands for
What is Face, Arms, Speech and Time?
The sensory pathway in the spinal cord is known as this.
What is the ascending pathway?
Specific nuclei on this part of the brain are responsible for "screening" out visual, motor, auditory and sensory input before it is sent to the cortex.
What is the thalamus?
This model of visual processing is based on the idea that a hierarchy of skills exist.
What is Warren's Model of Visual Processing?
What are:
Partial to full loss of motor control or sensory function, Abnormal or impaired speech,Impaired executive functioning,Memory impairment,Emotional disturbances
Inability to recognize faces
What is prosopagnosia?
This cranial nerve travels through hippocampus and is likely why scent is a powerful trigger for long term memories.
What is cranial nerve 1 olfactory nerve
