Left cerebral hemisphere
spoken language, writing, reading, calculation, verbral memory, thinking, visual verbal processing, verbal auditory
Split brain syndrome
(transection of corpus callosum); right hand doesn't know what left hand is doing; depending on what hand object in people may not be able to name
Frontal lobe functions
execution of general motor movements (precentral gyrus); planning programming sequencing of movements (premotor cortex); voluntary eye movements (frontal eye fields); motor speech (Broca's area); ideas, concepts, abstract though, memory, personaluty, emotion, intelelct
Precentral gyrus
execution of general motor movements
Premotor cortex
planning, programming, sequencing, of movements
Frontal eye fields
voluntary movements
Broca's area

broca's area dysfunction
Dysarthria
dysfunction of corticobulbar pathways
Agraphia
dysfunction of posterior frontal cortex excluding broca's is
Abulia
dysfunction of general ares w/in rostral fronal love
Parietal Lobe Function
somatosensory cortex; recogniton and coordination of tactile visual and audotiry input; motor planning; comprehension and interpretation of words tones loudness and word timing
Somatosensory cortex
coordination, integratino, and refinement of sensory input
Right parietal lesions
disturbances of space and body schema
Left parteial lesions
disturbances of reading writing and mathematics
Gertmann's syndrome
inability to tell right from left sides and to recoginze fingers or body parts
Astereognosis
dystfunctions of right hemisphere of parietal lobe
Asognosia
lack of awareness or denial of disease (right supramarginal gyrus)
Autopagnosia
impared recognition of body parts (right parietal lobe)
Visual agnosia
combined parieto-occipaital lesion and/or lesion of corpus callosum; not knowing something is there
Apraxia
(left parietal lobe)
Unilateral neglect
(right parietal lobe); happens on left side where people don’t recognize that left side of body exists
Temporal lobe functions
auditory, language comprehension, sound modulation, perception of music, memory, higher order visual and auditory tasks, emotion, motivation, personailty
Superior temporal gyrus
auditory reception
Wernicke's are and right superior temporal gyrus
language comprehension, sound modualtion, perception of music; damage here they say random words and think they said coherent words
Hippocampus and Amygdala
memory, higher order visual and auditory tasks, emotion, motivation, and personality
Bilateral lesions on auditory areas temporal lobe
deafness
Right hemisphere of temporal lobe dysfunction
lack of music ability and appreciation diminished
Anomia
can't remember names of stuff; supramarginal gyrus affected in temproal lobe
Kluver-Bucy
bilateral obliteration of amygdala; results in oral exploratory behavior, tactile exploratory behavior, hypersexuality
Temproal lobe seizures
aggressive behavior, hypersexuality, hyerreligiousity, abnormal need to write and investigate
Occipital Lobe function
visual recpeion, bringing in info into gestalt
Anton's syndrome
Cortical blindness; bilateral occipital loss which may result in confabulation
Bilateral lesions of perieto-occipital association areas
loss of hand-eye coordination or total visual agnosia
agnosia
inabilty to be aware of an object using a giv en sense even though this sense in functionally intact
Tactile agnosia
inability to recognize object by touch alone; disturbance of body image, lack of recognition of individual fingers, confusion of left and right sides fo body (lesion supramarginal gyrus)
Auditory agnosia
inability to recognize sounds, music or words from lesion in posterior part of superior temporal gyrus
Dimentia
loss of interllectual functions, memory, learning, reasoning, problem solving and abstract thinking; similar symptoms can be shown by hyperthyroidism, cushing disease, nutrional, AIDS, drug interactions
Picks dimentia
less common than alzheimers, go to one stimulus and stay on it; heredity; fast onset and progression
Stages of memory
(1) register (diencephalon) (2) consolidate (basal forebrain) (3) store (hippocampus/amagydala) (4) retreive (basal ganglia)
What is long term retrograde memory
frontal lobe; specifically cingualte gyrus
