Cortex & Connections

Expressive Aphasia

Expressive Aphasia

What is the disorder that affects Broca's area. They have the ability to understand written and verbal language but unable to generate the appropriate words in response?

Wernicke's area

_________ : comprehension of spoken language & interprets symbols (the region of the brain)

Ability to plan a route from point A to point B

How does spatial perception affect us in the "external world"?

Brocaa Area

________: provides instructions for language output (region of the brain)

Cognitive intelligence

What type of intelligence includes language, written and auditory communication?

prefrontal cortex & parietotemporal

The ________ & the ________________ association cortex maintain, manipulate and update info in working memory…whats coming in vs what you already know (makes the connection)

Primary Auditory Cortices

Which cortices receives info from the ears by a pathway that synapses at the inferior colliculus and medial geniculate body?

The loss of conducting a task w/out the loss of movement.

What is Apraxia?

Self awareness & executive function

What is the function of the dorsolateral prefrontal association area?

Primary Auditory Cortices (PAC)

Which cortex receives info from the ears by a pathway that synapses at the inferior colliculus and medial geniculate body?

Primary Vestibular Cortices (PVC)

Which cortex receives information regarding head movement and position relative to gravity, info goes to both sides?

Primary Visual Cortex

Which cortex information travels from the retina (cranial nerve 2) to the thalamus the to the primary visual cortex?

Dorsolateral Prefrontal Association Area

Which association area is in charge of goal-oriented behavior & self awareness functions?

Parietotemporal Association Area

Which association area is in charge of sensory integration, problem solving, understanding language and spacial relationships?

Ventral & Medial Dorsal Prefrontal Association

Which association area is in charge of emotion, motivation & personality?

Working Memory

Short term memory, whats happening in the next 5 mins is also known as what?

Wernickes Area

Which specific region of the brain is where we have comprehension of spoken language & interprets symbols?

Brocaa Area

Which specific region of the brain is where it provides instructions for language output?

Apraxia

What is the loss of task performance, w/out loss of movement known as? (term)

Agnosia

What is the loss of the sensation known as? (term)

Receptive aphasia

What is the disorder when an individual cannot really understand spoken language and all other language is impacted. Patients will make up words, substitute wrong words, disordered syntax? (all without realizing what they're truly saying)

Expressive Aphasia

What is the disorder when an individual can understand written and verbal language but unable to generate the appropriate words? (patients are aware of the nonsense articulations)

Helps us to know how our body is anatomically arranged in the moment

How does spatial perception affect our understanding of our body?

Enables us locate objects in space & navigate accurately

How does spatial perception affect our relationship to our surroundings?

Hemineglect Syndrome

What is the syndrome we see associated with a right parietal lob lesion? (seen post stroke)

An individuals brain cannot process input for the left eye. So they're field of perception is only everything to the right.

What is hemineglect syndrome? (usually damage to the right side)

Tactile & Proprioceptive receptors

The primary somatosensory cortex receives info from what type of receptors?

Discriminative touch & Proprioception

The primary somatosensory cortex receives what type of info?

Able to determine location of stimulus, Understand shape, size & texture of a structure

2 aspects of how the Primary Somatosensory Cortex helps in the awareness of our environment....

Ventrolateral & Medial Doral Prefrontal Area

Which association area lies close to the cingulate gyrus?

maintain, manipulate and update info in working memory

The prefrontal cortex & parietotemporal associations work together to.....
