|
parietal lobe
|
superior lobe of the brain. Separated from the frontal lobe by the central sulcus, from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus, and from the occipital lobe by the parieto-occipital sulcus
|
|
|
occipital lobe
|
Posterior-most lobe of the brain. Separated from the parietal lobe by the parieto-occipital sulcus.
|
|
|
longitudinal fissure
|
deep fissure dividing right and left hemispheres of the brain
|
|
|
central sulcus
|
windy groove (sulcus) that separates the anterior and posterior aspects of the brain. Ends at the lateral sulcus.
|
|
|
lateral sulcus
|
groove separating the inferior and superior aspects of the brain.
|
|
|
precentral gyrus
|
ridge running just anterior to the central sulcus in the frontal lobe.
|
|
|
postcentral gyrus
|
ridge running just posterior to the central sulcus in the parietal lobe.
|
|
|
somatosensory association area
|
location - immediately posterior to the postcentral gyrus
function - interprets stimuli |
|
|
primary motor area
|
location - precentral gyrus
function - voluntary movement of skeletal muscles |
|
|
primary somatosensory area
|
location - postcentral gyrus
function - receives pain/pressure/temperature impulses |
|
|
prefrontal cortex
|
location - anterior inferior aspect of frontal lobe
function - intelect, reasoning, personality |

auditory association area
|
location - posterior to primary auditory area
function - interpret auditory stimuli |
|
|
primary visual area
|
location - posterior-most aspect of occipital lobe
function - receive visual stimuli |
|
|
visual association area
|
location - anterior to primary visual area
function - interpret visual stimuli |
|
|
Primary auditory area
|
location - inferior to postcentral gyrus and lateral sulcus
function - receives auditory stimuli |
|
|
frontal lobe
|
Superior anterior lobe of the brain. Separated from the parietal lobe by the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus.
|
|
|
temporal lobe
|
lateral lobe of the brain. Separated from the frontal lobe by the lateral sulcus.
|
|
|
Broca's area
|
location - anterior to base of precentral gyrus, superior to lateral sulcus
function - specialized motor speech area |
