27 Cards in this Set
- Front
- Back
|
Midbrain
|
simple survival skills and locomotion
|
|
|
Medulla
|
controls simple autonomic functions
|
|
|
Pons and medulla
|
postural reflexes and some metabolic reflexes
|
|
|
Midbrain and pons
|
control sleep and level of arousal
|
|
|
Thalamus
|
two "thalmus's"
relay station of brain, almost all signals go in and out of the brain |
|
|
Cerebellum
|
little brain
fine motor movements and fast ballistic movement (movement thats planned in advance, executed thus difficult to alter on the fly) Able to process and relate to time very quickly |
|
|
Basal Ganglia
|
Flaps on thalamus. Gross motor movements and integrating various movements into a sequence
|
|
|
Basal ganglia and cerebellum
|
work together to give whole set of motor repertoire
|
|
|
Limbic system - hypothalamus
|
"border"
|
|
|
Amygdale
|
emotional function
|
|
|
Hippocampus
|
memory. take short term memory into long term
|
|
|
hypothalamus
|
below thalamus. Controls entire internal environment of body
|
|
|
Cortex (neocortex)
|
consists of four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
|
|
|
Occipital lobe
|
primary visual cortex
|
|
|
primary auditory cortex
|
temporal lobe
|
|
|
primary somatosensory cortex
|
parietal lobe
|
|
|
primary motor cortex
|
back of front lobe
|
|
|
association cortex
|
everything else. involved in perception, "thought" and decision making
|
|
|
Frontal lobe
|
planning of actions and changing strategies
|
|
|
parietal lobe
|
spatial perception, somatosensation, some language
|
|
|
Principles of Cortical Represenation
|
1) topographic organization
2) cortical magnification 3) two hemispheres |
|
|
what separates the two halves?
|
corpus callosum
|
|
|
contralateral organization
|
each side of brain deals with the other side of the body
|
|
|
language abilities
|
mostly in left hemisphere
|
|
|
spatial abilities
|
right hemisphere
|
|
|
unilateral presentation
|
presentation of information to just one hemisphere
|
|
|
cross-cueing
|
two hemispheres cant communicate with each other so will find other methods of communicating
|
