|
|
Frontal lobe |
Most anterior portion of the cerebral cortex. Higher cognitive functions: judgment, language production, working memory, socialization, etc temporal lobe |
|
|
Anterior |
View of the brain from the front side (frontal lobe mostly visible in this view) |
|
|
Temporal lobe |
•Located beneath the lateral fissure on both cerebral hemispheres of the mammalian brain •Important role in organizing sensory input, auditory perception, language and speech production, as well as memory association and formation •Structures of the limbic system, including the olfactory cortex, amygdala, and the hippocampus are located within the temporal lobes; damage to this area of the brain can result in problems with memory, understanding language, and maintaining emotional control
|
|
|
Parietal lobe |
Superior to the occipital lobe and posterior to the frontal lobe; defined by four anatomical boundaries: the central sulcus separates the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe; the parieto-occipital sulcus separates the parietal and occipital lobe; •Functions: Integrating sensory information from various parts of the body; knowledge of numbers and their relations; manipulation of objects in space, visuospatial processing
|
|
|
Occipital lobe |
The occipital lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex. |
|
|
Ventral |
View of the brain from the bottom side (all lobes visible in exception to Parietal, not so visible) |
|
|
Corpus callosum |
•The is a thick band of nerve fibers that connects the left and right sides of the brain allowing for communication between both hemispheres •Facilitates interhemispheric communication: transfers motor, sensory, and cognitive information between the brain hemispheres |
|
|
Geschwind syndrome |
Characteristic personality syndrome consisting of circumstantiality (excessive verbal output, stickiness, hypergraphia), altered sexuality (usually hyper-sexuality), and intensified mental life (deepened cognitive and emotional responses) is present in some epilepsy patients |
|
|
Bacterial Meningitis |
Bacterial meningitis is a serious and frequently fatal illness. Even treated early, it can result in brain damage, hearing loss or learning disabilities |
|
|
Klüver-Bucy |
10. Klüver-Bucy syndrome is a rare behavioral impairment that is associated with damage to both of the anterior temporal lobes of the brain. It causes individuals to put objects in their mouths and engage in inappropriate sexual behavior. Other symptoms may include visual agnosia (inability to visually recognize objects), loss of normal fear and anger responses, memory loss, distractibility, seizures, and dementia. The disorder may be associated with herpes encephalitis and trauma, which can result in brain damage. |
