What are the layers of the Cerebrum?
- Superficial cortex - grey matter
- Deeper, internal portion - white matter
- Basal Nuclei-patches of grey matter that lies in the white matter
-
Cerebral Hemispheres
- The covering of the brain
- Superior aspect of the brain
- Can be refered to as Cerebrum
-
Cerebral Cortex
- The conscious mind that allows us to be aware of ourselves and our sensations
- allows us to communicate, remember, understand and initates voluntary movements
-
Generalizations about the Cerebral Cortex
- Contains motor, sensory, and association areas - all interneuron Neurons
- R side of brain is concerned with L side of body and Viseversa
- Some specialization of the cortex occurs and not all regions of the right cortex correspond to the same area on the L cortex
- No one part acts alone
- Entire cortex maybe involved in one way r another in conscious behavior
-
Motor Areas
- Controls Voluntary movement and lies within the posterior part of the Frontal lobe
- Primary motor and premotor cortex's, Broca area, Frontal eye field
-
Primary Motor Cortex
- In the precentral gyrus of each hemisphere
- Controls precise or skilled voluntary movements
-
Premotor Cortex
- Within the Frontal Lobe anterior to the Percental Gyrus
- Controls learned motor Skills of a repetitous nature
- Maybe invoved in planning movements
-
Brocas Area
- Frontal cortexinferior to the premotor area present mostly in left Hemisphere
- responsible for motor speed and speech preparation and many volunatary motor activities
-
Frontal eye field
- Laretal to the premotor cortex, Superior to the Broca's area
- Controls voluntary movement of the eyes Motor area
-
Sensory Area's
- areas concerned with conscious awareness of sensation occurs in the parietal, insulsr, temporal & occipital lobes
- Primary Somatosensory,Somatosensory cortex's, Visual,Auditory,Olfactory,Gustatory,Viseral,Vestibular
-
Primary Somaotsensory Cortex
- Within the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe behind the primary motor cortex
- Receives sensory info from the skin and proprioceptors in the skeetal muscle, joints and tendons
-
Somaotsensory Assciation Cortex
- Lies posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex
- Integrates sensory inputs and relays to the primary Somatosensory Cortex
-
Visual Areas
- Posterior tip of the occipital Lobe
- receives Visual info
- Stores visual memory in the surrounding visual association area
-
Auditory Area
- superior margin of the temporal lobe next to the lateral sulcus
- Receives auditory info stores auditory memory in the posterior auditory association area
-
Olfactory Area
- Lies on the medial aspect of the temporal lobe
- receives olfactory info maybe associated also with the limbic system
-
Visceral Sensory Area
- Posterior to the Gustatory Cortex in the insula
- Involved in the conscious perception of Visceral Sensation
-
Gustatory Cortex
- Located in the insula
- Involved in the perception of taste
-
Vestibular (equilibrium) Cortex
- Located in the posteerior part of the insula next to the partietal cortex
- Responsible for conscious awareness of balance
-
Multimodal Association Area's
Association areas that involve a range of the cortex where signals are received from many inputs and outputs are sent to many areas
-
Anterior Association Areas
- The prefrontal cortex lies in frontal lobe
- Involved with intellect, complex learning abilities (cognition) recall and personality
- Involved in the production of abstract ideas, judgement, reasoning persistence and planning
-
Posterior Association Area
- Parts of the temporal, partietal, and occipital lobes
- Involved in pattern, facial recognition, knowing where we are in space.
- Intergration sensory info as a whole
- -Wernickes area
-
Limbic Association Area
- The cingulated gyrus, the parahippocampal gyrus and the hippocampus
- Provides emotional impact and establishes emotional memories surrounding events
-
Wernicke's Area
Is involved in understanding written and spoken language
-
Cerebral White Matter
- Responsible for communication
- Between cerebral areas and between the cerebral cortex and lower CNS centers
- Consists of Myelinated fibers that are classified according to direction info travels
-
Commissures
- Connects corresponding gray areas of the two hemispheres and allows them to function as a whole
- Includes the Corpus Callisum and the anterior and posterior commissures
-
Association
Connects different parts of the same hemisphere of the same hemisphere and adjacent gyri
-
Projection
Receives and sends input to the lower areas and ties the cortex with the rest of the nervous system and to the bodies receptors and effectors
-
-
Diencephalon
the epithalamus, thalamus, Hypothalamus, and the Retina of the eye
-
Thalamus
- 2 knobs located Medial and central in the brain conneccted at the Midline by the intermediate mass
- Relay station for info coming into the cerebral cortex info in then sorted and edited (filter)
-
What are the key roles of the Thalamus?
Mediating sensation, Motor actities, Cortical arousal, Learning anf memory
-
Hypothalamus
- Located inferior to the thalamus and is connected to the pituitary gland by the infundibulum
- -Contians functionally important nuclei and is responsible for Visceral control
-
Epithalamus
- Forms the roof of the 3rd Ventricle
- The Pineal Gland extends from the posterir border and secrets Melatonin and aids in regulating the Sleep-wake cycle
-
Brain Stem
- Midbrain,Pons,and Medulla
- Organized simillar to the spinal cord with deep gray matter surrounded by white matter fiber tracts
- Contains nuclei off gray matter embeded in white matter unlike spinal cord
- Survival Center
-
MidBrain
Contains two bulging cerebral peduncles on the ventral (anterior) aspects of the Midbrain
-
Pons
- Forms the bulging part of the brain stem
- Deep fibers run from the higher brain and spinal cord with the superficial ventral fibers connect the Pons with the Cerebellum
- Aids the medulla in normal respiration
-
-
Cerebellum
- Hind portion or hind brain-locateddorsal to Pons and inferior to the Occipital lobes of the cerebrum
- -Provides precise timing and appropriate patterns of skeletal muscle contraction for smooth coordinated movements and agility subconsciously
-
Types of Sleep
- Non-Rapid Eye Movement (NREM)-
- 1st 90 minutes of the sleep cycle
- Depressed Functioning
- Rapid Eye Movement (REM)-
- Occurs after 90mins of sleep cycle
- Dream stage, Increased functioning in a stage of temporary Paralysis
-
Alpha Waves
A calm, relaxed, awake brain
-
Beta Waves
Mentally alert or concentrated brain
-
Delta Waves
Sleep and Anestatized brains or an indication of brain damage in a waken adult
-
Theta Waves
Common in children and in some adults while concertrating
-
Non- Declarative
Skills,Motor Memory, emotional memory acquired through experience and repetition
-
Declarative
fact memory including faces, words, dates, and names
