Brain structure

Question 1

Frontal lobe contain?

Answer 1

PMC + pre FC + Brocas area

Question 2

Primary motor cortex( frontal lobe)

Answer 2

Works with other brain area and spinal cord to translate into physical movement. generates neural impulses that control the execution of voluntary movements.

Question 3

Brocas area( frontal lobe)

Answer 3

coordinates movement of muscles required for speech and supplying this info to appropriate motor cortex.
- involved in production of spoken and written speech.

Question 4

Parietal lobe contain?

Answer 4

primary sensory cortex
Associated body sensations mediates attention and is involved in spatial perception.

Question 5

Primary sensory cortex(parietal)

Answer 5

processes sensory info from skin and proprioceptors of skeletal muscles, joints and tendons .different areas of the primary sensory cortex correspond to different areas of the body.

it is also capable of spatial discrimination meaning the identification of the body region being stimulated.

Question 6

occipital lobe contain?

Answer 6

located in both hemispheres .
primary visual cortex

Question 7

Primary visual cortex

Answer 7

receives and processes input from retina, right cortical areas interpret messages received from the left eye, visa versa,

Question 8

temporal lobe contains?

Answer 8

located both sides of the brain
primary auditory cortex and wernickes

Question 9

wernickes areas?

Answer 9

allows for production of speech that is comprehensible by others, sequencing words so sentences make sense
damaged- results in patient who can produce speech but cannot form sequences of speech that make sense to others.

Question 10

primary auditory cortex. ( temporal lobe)

Answer 10

processing of auditory stimuli,

Question 11

Left side of the brains functions.

Answer 11

receives info from right side of the brain, controls the right side, verbal, reasoning, thinking, controls voluntary movements of the right side.

Question 12

right side of the brain functions.

Answer 12

controls voluntary movements of the left side, appreciation of art and music, detection and expression of motion, recognition of faces and patterns, non verbal.

Question 13

what happens if someone damages their parietal lobe

Answer 13

causes numbness and impairs sensation on the opposite side of the body, may have difficulty identifying a sensations location.

Question 14

what happens if someone damages their occipital lobe

Answer 14

difficulty locating objects, identifying colours,

Question 14

what happens if someone damages their temporal lobe?

Answer 14

difficulty in understanding and remembering spoken language/ non verbal information, recognising faces,

Question 15

pre frontal cortex functions ( frontal lobe)

Answer 15

relates to higher order functions such as abstract thinking, decision making, problem solving, logic, reasoning judgement

Question 16

what is hemispheric lateralisation?

Answer 16

the idea that each hemisphere is responsible for different functions
