2.17.24 Lecture: multimodal association areas and lateralization of cortical function

_____________ receives input from multiple sensory areas

multimodal association areas

multimodal association areas send outputs to multiple areas, including the _________

premotor cortex

the most complicated cortical region is the __________________

anterior association area

the anterior association area is also called the ________________

prefrontal cortex

the anterior association area is involved in _____________ needed for _____________, _____________, ___________ and ________________

working memory needed for judgement, reasoning, persistence, and conscience

the _______________ encompasses the parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes

poster association area

the _________________ is where we interpret language

wernicke's area

true/false: we process reading and we interpret spoken language in wernicke's area

true!

wernicke's area is in the _________ hemisphere, which is the dominant hemisphere

left

_______________________ plays a role in recognizing patterns and faces and localizing us in space

the posterior association area

true/false: the area where we understand speech is separate from the area where we create speech, but both areas are in the dominant hemisphere

true!

the ____________________ area holds the emotional centers

limbic association area

the ____________________ allows us to detect risk of harm

amygdaloid body

the ______________ is the last to develop and works in impulse control

cingulate gyrus

the ______________ is a structure necessary for learning

hippocampus

what would happen if you injure the hippocampus

you will not be a blessing to learn

the limbic association encompasses these 3 areas:

1. diencephalic structures of the limbic system

2. fiber tracts connecting the limbic system structures

3. cerebral structures of the limbic system

name the 3 diencephalic structures of the limbic system

1. anterior thalamic nuclei

2. hypothalamus

3. mammillary body

name the 3 multimodal association areas

1. anterior association area (frontal lobe)

2. posterior association area

3. limbic association area

what is lateralization?

division of labor between hemispheres

____________________ designates the hemisphere dominant for language

cerebral dominance

____________ hemisphere controls language, math, and logic. ____________ hemisphere is known for intuition, visual-spatial skills, insight, and artistic skills
