The fibral tract that connects the Broca’s and Wernicke’s area is called the…
Arcuate fasciculus
The first step of the auditory comprehension pathway is…
The ear converts acoustic energy into electrochemical energy into electrochemical energy and transmits it to the brainstem via CN VIII (vestibulocochlear).
In the auditory comprehension pathway, the electrochemical energy transmits from the brainstem to the….
thalamus
In the auditory comprehension pathway, information is relayed from the thalamus to the ____ for ______.
Primary auditory cortex (A1) for signal processing
In the auditory comprehension pathway, info goes from A1 to the ____ area where ____ is attached.
Wernicke’s area, where meaning is attached
In the auditory comprehension pathway, info goes from the Wernicke’s area to the ___ area for _______
Broca's area, higher-level syntactical processing.
Visual information is projected to the thalamus under BA /, via the ___ tracts.
BA 41/42 via the optic tracts.
In the visual pathway, the thalamus projects to the __ lobe’s visual areas (BA - and - ) for visual processing via the ____ tract.
occipital, BA 17-19, geniculocalcarine tract.
The visual areas project 2 different streams of vision. These are the -- and -- streams.
dorsal, ventral
The dorsal stream of vision is responsible for the “---” of vision.
“where”
The ventral stream of vision is responsible for the “---” of vision.
“what”
When reading, the ----, ---- and ---- temporal reading systems activate.
anterior, paneto and occipito
In the oral production of language pathway, desire and thoughts to communicate originate in the --- cortex and are sent to the ----’s area for --- --- and ---- planning.
prefrontal cortex, Broca’s area, language encoding and speech planning
In the oral production of language pathway, the Broca’s area projects information to the ---- --- --- at the top of BA 6 which activates --- ---.
supplementary motor area (SMA), speech plans.
In the oral production of language pathway, the SMA then relays now active plans to the ---- ---- cortex
primary motor cortex
In the oral production of language pathway, the primary motor cortex then sends the plans to the --- --- for execution.
speech muscles
In the written expresison of language pathway, language-encoded thoughts are sent to the --- ---- cortex (BA 6) for ------ motor planning.
premotor, handwriting
In the written expression of language pathway, motor plans are sent to the --- --- cortex.
primary motor cotex
In the written expression of language pathway, the primary motor cortex then sends the writing plans to the --- --- for execution.
dominant hand

left superior parietal lobe
Saliency is where…
lexical items should be topical
