New cards

Wernicke's Area

- Located in posterior end of the superior temporal gyrus

- Speech sound comprehension

New cards

Broca's Area

- Located anterior to the primary motor area on the left frontal lobe

- Speech sound sequencing

- Has more to do with speech than language

New cards

Arcuate Fasciculus

- Connects Wernicke's Area to Broca's Area

- Links speech sound recognition to production

- imporant for ability to repeat speech

New cards

Primary Motor Cortex

- Located in both hemispheres in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe right before the central sulcus

- controls basic motor actions

- holds the homunculus

Homunculus

"Little man"

A neurological map of the body

New cards

Primary Sensory Cortex

- Located in the post-central gyrus of both parietal lobes

- recognizes basic somatic (touch) sensations

- holds the sensory homunculus
