1

Cerebral Cortex

Outer layer of nerve tissue covering the largest part of the brain, the cerebrum.

New cards
2

Ventricles

Two cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid, forming an inner communication network in the cerebrum.

New cards
3

Hindbrain

Lower brain structures including the cerebrum, medulla, and pons, controlling motor functions and vital responses.

New cards
4

Cerebellum

Responsible for coordinating movement, balance, and posture.

New cards
5

Forbrain

Upper-level brain structures regulating cognitive processes, emotions, and personality.

New cards
6

Hemispheric Specialization

Different functions of the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

New cards
7

Neuroplasticity

Brain's ability to change and adapt in response to experience or injury and including synaptic through sprouting and rerouting

New cards
8

Acquired Brain Injury

Brain injury occurring after birth due to traumatic or non-traumatic events.

New cards
9

Stroke

Acquired brain injury caused by interrupted blood supply or bleeding in the brain, leading to tissue deterioration.

New cards
10

Neurological Disorder

Disorder affecting any part of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system.

New cards
11

Seizure

Uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain, characteristic of epilepsy.

New cards
12

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Progressive brain degeneration due to repeated head injuries, potentially fatal.

New cards
13

Concussion

Traumatic brain injury resulting from rapid head movement, disrupting neuronal activity and potentially damaging brain tissue.

New cards
14

Broca’s area

a specific are of cortext wich coordinates movement of the muscles required for speech and supplies this information to the appropriate motor cortex ( speach). and

New cards
15

Wernicke’s area

an area of the tempral lobe that plays a critical role in understanding the sound involed in human speech.

New cards
16

left Hemisphere

processes language through the Broca’s area and Wernicke’s

New cards
17

Right hemisphere

Spatial abilities: understanding spatial relationships and visualizing images.

facial recognition: recognizing faces and interpreting facial expressions.

music perception: Processing musical rhythm and melodies

New cards
18

Cortical lobe

areas of the cerebral cortex associated with different unction

New cards
19

frontal

the executive refers to a collection of cognitive skills including the capacity to plan, organize, initiate.processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory.

New cards
20

temporal: ears

the temporal lobe is meaningly involved with the Primarily auditory perception, plays an important role in memory.

New cards
21

primary auditory cortex:

has an important role in receiving and processing sounds. from both ears so that we can perceive and identify different types of sound.

New cards
22

parietal : sense

The parietal lobes are primarily responsible for receiving and processing sensory input such as touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain

New cards
23

occipital lobes: eyes

The occipital lobe is the visual processing area of the brain. distance and depth perception, color determination and memory

New cards
24

primary visual cortex

The visual cortex receives and processes information from both eyes' visual sensory receptors, with the left half of each eye transmitting it to the right occipital lobe.

New cards
25

Thalamus:

relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex. filters information from the senses (not smell) and transmits (relays) the information to the relevant parts of the brain

New cards
26

Hypothalamus :

a section of the brain that is responsible for the production of the bodys hormones that regulate different cells and organs.

New cards
27

amygdala:

the part of the brain that's most closely associated with fear, emotions, and motivation

New cards
28

hippocampus:

essential for information of new memories.

New cards
29

cerebrum:

higher cognitive functions like thinking and planning

New cards
30

Acquired brain injury

occurs after birth due to traumatic events like strokes, infections, or lack of oxygen, while non-traumatic brain injury is caused by internal factors.
