can draw a pen but can not identify |
|
What happens when you get a lesion in the occipital lobe?
|
Apperceptive agnosia
can describe what they see, but can not draw |
|
What happens when you get a lesion in the prefrontal cortex?
|
Inability to suppress inapproriate behavior
|
|
What happens when you get a lesion in the right parietal cortex?
|
inability to recognize left "arm, leg, testicle..."
|
|
What happens in if you section the corpus callosum?
|
diifuclty in understanding written material ONLY in the left visual field
i. Right hemisphere not good at inerpreting material so usually transmit info to weirnekes area via corpus callosum |
|
What happens with a left temporal cortex lesion?
|
difficulty to understand written materailassuming there is not visual pathway deficits
lesioned weinikes area |
|
What area in the brain deals with heat dissipation?
|
Preotic area in anterior hypotalamus
|
|
What area in the brain deals with heat conservation?
|
Posterior hypothalamus
|
|
Where is leptin released and what does it do?
|
realeased from fat cells
stimulates catabolic acitivities in the arcurate nucleus |
|
What are the stages of memory?
|
Encoding
Consolidation Storage Retrival |
|
What does the arcuate nucleus control?
|
feeding
|
|
What does the Medial and Lateral preoptic nuclei involved in?
|
temperature regulation
|
|
What does the paraventricular nucleus control?
|
endocrine and autonomic processes
|
|
The two types of outputs in the hypothalamus?
|
1. Parvocellular-
medially, secrete hypotalamic reasling hormones like CRH dorsally & ventally, project to medula and spinal cord for autonomic control 2. Magnocellular- Control endocrine function directly by releasing oxytocin and ADH into posterior pituitary |
|
What if the ventral hypothalamus is lesioned?
|
chronic hyperthermic
|
|
What happens if the dorsal hypothalamus is lesioned?
|
patient becomes hypothermic
|
|
What will be secreted if a someone is exposed to a long term cold environment?
|
TRH, which will increase release of T4 thyroxine from the pituitary gland and will increase heat by increasing metabolism
|
|
What is the paraventricular nucleus?
|
catabolic nucleus; when stimulated, it decreases appetite and increases energy expenditure
|
|
What is the lateral hypothalamic nucleus?
|
anabolic nucleus; when stimulated it increases appetite and decreases energy expenditure
|
|
What heppens with a medial temporal area lesion?
|
Prospagnosia- patient can not recognize faces
|
