The folding pattern itself has no cortical functional significance
T/F |
T
|
|
Gyrus
|
fold of gray matter (2-4 mm) over a central core of white matter
|
|
Sulcus
|
refers to a groove between adjacent gyri
|
|
Majority gray matter is not on the surface T/F
|
T
|
|
Normally, _______ fills in between white matter making sulci very narrow
|
gray matter
e.g., Alzheimer's causes a reduction in gray matter which enlarges sulci |
|
The lateral surface of the hemisphere is divided into lobes by 2 large sulci -
What are they? (fissures) and 2 imaginary lines- What are they |
Sulci:
1)central sulcus (Rolandic fissure) 2)lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) Imaginary lines: 1)parietooccipital sulcus 2)preoccipital notch |
|
4 lobes visible on the lateral surface
|
Frontal
Temporal Occipital Parietal |
|
12 names cover all gyri for the basic pattern on the lateral hemisphere
-What are they? |
Frontal:
sup. frontal mid. frontal inf. frontal Temporal: sup. temporal mid. temporal inf. temporal Occipital Parietal: Precenter Postcenter supramarginal |
|
Two pairs of vertical parallel gyri and sulci are separated by _______
|
the central sulcus
"pre" central = anterior, frontal; "post" central = posterior, parietal |
|
Both the pre- and post- central gyri "spill over" onto the medial surface and interconnect around the end of the _______
|
central sulcus
*Central sulcus is variable as to how far it extends down the medial side |
|
paracentral lobule
|
The gyrus surrounding the end of the central sulcus
|
|
Brodmann area 4 - primary motor cortex
|
Most of the precentral gyrus including the medial surface
|
|
Brodmann areas 3,1, 2 - primary somatosensory cortex
|
postcentral gyrus, including the medial surface
-the surface (top) of the gyrus forming the banks on either side |
|
Different regions are associated with different numbers of
|
body motor cells
|
|
Mapping of the motor cells on the precentral gyrus forms the
|
motor homunculus
|
|
motor homunculus
|
headless body standing on the cingulate gyrus and draped over the lateral surface, holding its head by the hair
|
|
sensory homunculus
|
on the postcentral gyrus is similar, but with a larger face area and the addition of the genitals on the medial surfface
|
|
The three frontal gyri are separated by
|
two sulci
|
|
Superior frontal gyrus is better seen in
|
superior view
|
|
Frontal Lobe contains -
|
See slide 17 --
-The supplementary motor and premotor areas (BA6) -The frontal eye fields (8) plan eye movements -Broca's area (BA 44, 45) is involved in speech -The frontal pole is involved in higher functions (thinking, cognition, personality) |
|
The three temporal gyri are separated by
|
two sulci:
superior temporal gyrus SUPERIOR TEMPORAL SULCUS middle temporal gyrus INFERIOR TEMPORAL SULCUS inferior temporal gyrus |
|
Weirneike's area is located where?
|
superior temporal gyrus
|
|
The sulci on either side of the superior temporal gyrus lead to two named gyri of the parietal lobe.
What are they? |
supramarginal gyrus (from lateral sulcus)
angular gyrus (from superior temporal sulcus) |
|
Lateral fissure leads to the ________ which surrounds its upper end
|
supramarginal gyrus
|
|
The superior temporal fissure leads to the ________ which surrounds its upper end
|
angular gyrus (BA 40)
|
|
The angular gyrus is just in front of
|
the imaginary line connecting the preoccipital notch with the superior end of the parietooccipital sulcus on the medial surface.
