Lec 13 Assigenment - Brains

Primary somatosensory cortex (primary sensory cortex)

Where general senses are felt

Somatosensory Association Area

Deeper knowledge of general senses.

Occipital lobe

Involved w/ vision.

Visual cortex

Receives visual information.

Visual association area

Allows for recognizing/interpreting things you see.

Broca's area

Performs speech.

Central sulcus

Deep groove that divides the frontal lobe from parietal lobe.

Frontal lobe

Front of central sulcus.

Parietal lobe

extends posterior from central sulcus to parieto-occipital sulcus.

Temporal lobe

Inferior to central sulcus - auditory / smelling

Insula

Only found if you remove the lateral sulcus, deep in cerebral cortex.

Longitudinal fissure

The deep midline groove that separates the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain.

Lateral sulcus

Separates the frontal and parietal lobes from the temporal lobe

Parieto-occipital sulcus

Deep groove on the medial surface of the brain that separates the parietal and occipital lobes

Precentral gyrus

Where the PMC (primary motor cortex) is located.

Postcentral gyrus

Where the PSC (primary somatosensory cortex) is located

falx cerebri

Found deep inside in the longitudinal fissure

Primary motor cortex

initiates voluntary movement.

Prefrontal cortex

Front most part of frontal lobe. Performs higher level functions (learning, reasoning, intellect, prediction).
