Answers
telencephalon - -cerebrum
- diencephalon - -thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus
- mesencephalon - -midbrain
- metencephalon - -pons and cerebellum
- myelencephalon - -medulla oblongata
- gray matter - -cell bodies, dendrites, unmyelinated axons
- white matter - -unmyelinated axons
- cerebral cortex - -where does cognition occur?
- motor areas - -control voluntary motor function
- sensory areas - -provide conscious awareness of sensation
- multimodal association areas - -integration and interpretation of sensory
and motor information
- 6 - -how many layers does the cortex have?
- median longitudinal fissure - -divides the two hemispheres
- corpus callosum - -largest white matter pathway connecting the two
hemispheres
- anterior commissure - -connects the medial temporal regions
- default mode network - -Activates when not performing a task;
daydreaming, mind-wandering, thinking about others
- salience network - -switching between the default mode network and the
central executive network
, - central executive network - -engages your conscious brain to think and
maintains attention on a prioritized task
- parietal lobe - -region involved with general sensory functions such as
tactile sensation, proprioception, taste, language, spatial orientation, and
directing attention
- postcentral gyrus of parietal lobe - -where is the primary somatosensory
cortex?
- primary somatosensory cortex - -region of the brain that receives general
somatic sensory info from touch, pressure receptors
- somatosensory association cortex - -integrates and interprets sensory
information
- prefrontal cortex - -anterior portion of the frontal cortex responsible for
higher level processing and thinking
- executive functions (planning, organization, decision-making,
multitasking), working memory - -what is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex
responsible for?
- modulating emotions, inhibition, impulse control, adaptive learning - -what
is the orbitofrontal cortex responsible for?
- amygdala - -what is the orbitofrontal cortex connected to?
- motivational behavior, reward-based learning, error detection, pain
processing - -what is the anterior cingulate cortex responsible for?
- prefrontal cortex is not needed to live, but important for personality - -
what did we learn from the phineas gage case?
- primary motor cortex - -the section of the frontal lobe responsible for
voluntary movement
- precentral gyrus of frontal lobe - -Where is the primary motor cortex
located?
- fine; gross - -in the motor homonculus, a large area covers the face and
hands for __________ movements, while a small area covers the arms and
legs for ______________ movements.
- premotor cortex - -process motor information, plans and coordinates
learned, skilled motor activities
