|
Executive memory
|

List 5 key memory areas in the brain
|
1. Temporal lobe (medial part)
2. Hippocampal formation 3. Amygdala 4. Association cortex 5. Frontal lob |

|
What are the functions of the prefrontal neocortex?
|
1. Organizes and maintains information stored in the "posterior" cognitive systems into meaningful repertoires of behavior
2. Executive control of behavior 3. Awareness of self, relation to others, and environment 4. COGNITION |
|
|
What are the 4 types of amnestic syndromes?
|
1. Transient
2. Permanent 3. Sensory-specific and fractional 4. Psychogenic |
|
|
A closed head trauma (concusion, contusion) will most likely cause what type of amnestic syndrome?
|
Transient
|
|
|
Bilateral lesions involving medial temporal limbic regions will most likely cause what type of amnestic syndrome?
What are some examples of these lesions? |
Permanent
1. Anoxia (CA1) 2. Thiamine deficiency |
|
|
Bilateral lesions that disconnect sensory input to medial temporal limbic system or a unilateral lesion of the temporal lobe may cause what type of amnestic syndrome?
|
Sensory-specific and fractional
|
