|
recieves sensations from cutaneous and muscular receptors in various body parts, and can tell where the sensations came from (controlateral because it is part of the cerebrum) called spatial discrimination
|
primary somatic sensory cortex
|
|
|
what is the largest sensory area?
|
visual cortex
|
|
|
which sensory area receives sensations from eyes, and interprets shape, color, and movement (photoreceptors)
|
visual cortex
|
|
|
which sensory area receives sensations from ears, and interprets characteristics of sound like pitch, rhythm, level (located by the ears)
|
primary auditory cortex
|
|
|
which sensory area receives sensations from tongue and interprets them in terms of taste?
|
Gustatory cortex (taste area)
|
|
|
which sensory area receives sensations from nose and interprets them in terms of smell?
|
Olfactory cortex (smell)
|
|
|
which sensory area receives sensation of awareness of head position and therefore balance?
|
Vestibular cortex (equilibrium)
|
|
|
function is to integrate and interpret sensations, such as determining the exact shape and texture of an object without looking at it, to determine the orientation of one object to another as they are felt, and to sense the relationship of one body part to another.
|
somatic sensory association area
|
|
|
which function is also to store memories of past sensory experiences so comparisions can be made; temperature and pain sensations.
|
somatic sensory association area
|
|
|
function is to relate present to past visual experiences, allowing us to recognize familiar sights
|
visual association area
|
|
|
function to determine if a sound is speech, music, or note
|
auditory association area
|
|
|
funtion to also interpret the meaning of speech by translating words into thoughts
|
auditory association area
|
|
|
function to store memories of sound heard in the past
|
auditory association area
|
|
|
function to integrate sensory inputs from all areas so a common thought can be formed from the various sensory inputs==>> then transmits signlas to prefrontal cortex which causes appropriate response and add emotional overtones
|
Gnostic area (General interpretation area) GGGGG
|
|
|
example of this region being in use is: there are many impresssions associated with an acid spill, but the general message is DANGER!
|
Gnostic area (General interpretation area) GGGG
|
|
|
function is inolved with intellect, comlex learning, personality, abstract ideas (whats right and whats wrong), judgment, reasoning, persistence, planning, concern for others, conscience, emotions, mood (with limbic system)
|
prefrontal cortex
|
|
|
matures slowly in children and dependent on positive/ negative feedback from environment
|
prefrontal cortex
|
|
|
located on left side of brain function is responsible for language comprehension, sounding out unfamiliar words.
|
wernicke's area (speech area)
|
|
|
found on right side of brain function is responsible for the emotions expressed by language, both our understanding of the emotions in what we hear and in expressing them in what we say
|
affective language areas
|
|
|
function is thought to be involved in conscious perception of sensations of internal organs, like upset stomach or full bladder
|
Visceral association area
|
|
|
neurons in this region (pyramidal cells) control specific muscles or groups of muscles (controlateral)
|
primary (somatic) motor cortex
|
|
|
in this area learned motor skills which are repetitious or patterned (typing) are controlled by controlling several muscle groups in specific way
|
premotor area
|
|
|
left side only translates thoughts into words as we plan to speak by sending impulses to premotor cortex areas.
|
Broca's area (motor speech)
|
|
|
controls voluntary eye movements
|
frontal eye field
|
|
|
mathematics and speech
|
left side of brain
|
|
|
artistic side of brain
|
right side
