Fissures- large grooves b/t gyri

GREY MATTER - densely packed brain cells (outside)

(white matter= connections between cells; inside_

Anterior to PMC, transfers infor to PMC to give "go message"
Plans movement
Parietal Lobe/Coretx
Brain-Forebrain-Telencephalon - Coretx - Pareiteal Lobe

PSC: Primary Somatosensory Cortex

SAC: Somatosensory Association Cortex
PSC (Primary Somatosensory Cortex)
Brain - Forebrain - Telencephalon - Coretex - Pareital Lobe - PSC

location - post-central gyrus (right behind PMC in frontal)
receives contra-lateral sensory info

Located posterior to the PSC
somatosensory perception and memories
transefers info afte
Temporal Lobe of Cerebral Cortex
PAC: primary auditory cortex
AAC: Auditory Assication cortex
PAC
Primary Auditory COrtex of TEMPORAL LOBE

recieves auditory input like the pitch, volume, sound. Does not know what the sound it, just takes it in.

bilateral system
AAC
Auditory Association Cortex of the Temporal Lobe

interprets sound, "that is my cell phone"

stores auditory memories, analyzes auditory info
Occipital Lobe of Cerebral Cortex
PVC: primary visual coretx
VAC: Visual association cortex
PVC
primary visual cortex of the Occipital Lobe

Input form the contralateral visual field

(mid-line to the right side of the visual field all goes into the left retina, which goes to the right lobe)

takes in the incoming visual stimuli
VAC
Visual association cortex of the Occipital lobe

lateral ot the PVC
extends into the ventral temporal lobe
analyzes visual info
involved in visual perception
Corpus Callosum
thick axon bundle connection regions of the hemisphere, toward the core (long circle white thing in pics)

Coordinates sencory processing and motor output between the hemispheres

humans can live without! Seizures (epilepsy) that do not respond to drugs have the corpus callousum cut in half so crazy electricty signals in brain cannot be coordinated to other side of brain
Amygdala
Limbic System of Telencephalon

emotion (negative), anger, fear, learning and memory
Cingulate Cortex
LS

Emotion, learning, memory
Fornix
LS

Connects hipocampus with mammilary bodies
Hippocampus
LS

earning and memory
mammilary bodies
LS

memory
Olfactory Bulb
LS

sense of smell
Basal Ganglia
Telencephelon of forebrain

Motivation, generation of movemement

striatum (caudate nucleus and putamen)
Globus pallidus

Basal ganglia responds to primary motor cortex of frontal lobe because that is what sends "go" message
Thalamus
of Deincephalon of forebrain

relays info

1. lateral geniculate nucleus
2. medial geniculate nucleus

"mail room"; projection fibers=axon bundles extending from thalamus
Lateral geniculate nucleus
In the thalamus of the diencephalon:

vision info comes in before it goes to the primary visual cortex of the occipital lobe
Medial geniculate nucleus
autidotry info comes here before it goes to the autidory cortex of the temporal lobe
Hypothalamus
brain- forebrain- diencephalon - Basal Ganglia - hypothalamus
