psych 454 brain areas exam 3

prefrontal cortex

goals & planning, integrates & synthesizes info, top down control, decides what stays in working memory, rule following, connect to area 6 in motor cortex

anterior prefrontal cortex

abstract goals, spatial and verbal tasks

posterior prefrontal cortex

concrete goals linked to action

ventromedial prefrontal cortex

decision making guided by emotion

dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex

where/how pathway, spatial

ventrolateral prefrontal cortex

what process, verbal

medial prefrontal cortex

value-related, empathy

lateral prefrontal cortex

cognitive processes, speech, delayed response task

posterior parietal cortex

content of visuo-spatial processing, top-down, LIP respond to behaviorally relevant stimuli, increase response in sensory cortex via feedback, damage leads to neglect, signals saccade target, mirror neurons, connected with area 6 of motor cortex

inferior temporal cortex

represent and store visual content, working memory

right inferior frontal cortex

shows stop signaling related activity, inhibition of impulses

fronto-parietal network

vital for fluid intelligence

FEF, SEF, PPC

represent attention priorities, provide sensory cortex with what is relevant, reponsbile for eye movement

FEF: increase response in visual cortex

pulivnar

connects all cerebral cortex

NCC

parietal, temporal, intralaminar nuclei of thalamus

intralaminar nuclei of thalamus

NCC, w/ DBS can improve responsiveness

arousal

medial septal nucleus, hypothalamus, basal nucleus of meynert, NRT, ILN, MRF, brainstem

awareness

frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal cortexes, thalamus

premotor cortex

planned movements, mirror neurons

cerebellum

input: cerebellar cortex, output: deep cerebellar nuclei, integrates motor commands, current states and errors, predicted consequences

inferior olive

send error signals to cerebellum

insula

state of internal organs, motivational, sensory, and social information, admiration and compassion

anterior insula

supports feelings, empathy

ventral insula

core disgust (vomiting)

dorsal insula

BBV surgery

amygdala

perception of emotional stimuli, processing dangerous situations, fear

basolateral nuclei of amygdala

visual, auditory, tactile, and gustatory info

corticomedial of amygdala

olfactory input

central of amygdala

output

hypothalamus

visceral and somatic responses, homeostatsis, admiration and compassion for social pain

periventricular

secrete hormones

medial of hypothalamus

affective (show) aggression

lateral of hypothalamus

predatory aggression

anterior cingulate

admiration and compassion, represent self & others decisions, disruption leads to no mutually beneficial decisions, seeing others receive reward and error, learning from others

posterior medial cortex

retrosplenial cortex, precuneus= beliefs & goals about others, empathy

posterior cingulate

admiration & compassion

non- & biological motion

superior temporal sulus, fusiform, occipital face areas

surperior temporal sulcus

belief & goals about others, action-observer network

lateral occipital complex

human form perception

inferior parietal cortex

action observer network

inferior frontal gyrus

action-observer network, understanding others

orbitofrontal cortex

observing other receive reward
