Neuroanatomy and Neuerophysiology

Holds primary motor cortex. Voluntary complex movement, judgement, attention, awareness, thinking, mood, aggression.

In the frontal lobe. Most people in left lobe. Motor speech

Primary sensory cortex, processor, perception (meaning), special body regions assigned (homunculus), short term memory.

Hearing and understanding language. Temporal lobe, commonly the left.

Primary visual cortex. Responsible for sensory visual intake info at visual cortex.

Balance, posture, coordination, and complex muscular movements. Monitors movement requested vs movement preferred.

Non-verbal, artistic, processing of info without looking at all details, grasp general concepts. Eye/hand coordination, spatial relationships, non-verbal communication  (use and interpretation), body image, movement/posture, anger/unhappiness, aware of body image, perceiving negative emotions.

Primary speech and language center. 95% of pop has Brocca's and Wernike's on left. Sequential, orderly, organized processing of info (logic, linear). Frontal and temporal recognize spoken/written words. Math calculations.. Positive emotions happiness/love. Sequencing of movements/performance/gestures.

Group of nuclei located at the base of the cerebrum. Regulation of posture and muscle tone. Control motor planning in cerebrum.

Synapse location for sensory tracts, visual, and auditory. Thalamus and hypothalamus.

Relay station for all sensory impulses traveling upward from the body (except smell), sends into to cerebrum for interpretation, relays to association areas.

Homeostasis, autonomic (hunger, thirst, body temp, BP, sleep/wake). Endocrine (hormones), ANS, controls pituitary gland.

Midbrain, pons, and medulla.

Relay area for tracts passing between cerebrum and cerebellum or spinal cord.

Bundles of axons between cerebellum and the rest of the CNS. Regulates breathing. Orientation of head. Cranial nerves V-VIII (motor and sensory of face)

Extension of spinal cord: motor and sensory for neck and mouth. Controls for HR, RR, reflex center for vomiting, sneezing, swallowing, homeostasis.
