4. Forebrain Flashcards
What makes up the diencephalon? And function of each?
Thalamus: relay sensory information to the cortex
Epithalamus: sleep and wakefulness through pineal gland
Hypothalamus: regulate homeostasis and hormone release via pituitary gland
What makes up the walls of the third ventricle?
Thalamus
What sensor information does not travel through the thalamus?
Olfactory CN I
Which brain structure regulates the ANS (parasympathetic/sympathetic NS)
Hypothalamus
Name types of white matter fibers
Projection fibers : sensory connection projecting out of / to brain
Association fibers: connection within the brain
Commissural fibers: connections between hemisphere
The frontal lobe is bordered by
the central sulcus and lateral fissure
What would happen if a lesion appeared on the medial aspect of the primary motor cortex?
Motor issue at lower extremities
Parietal lobe is boarded by
Central sulcus, lateral fissure and parieto-occipital sulcus
Function of the primary motor cortex
Execute movements
Function of premotor cortex
Programming of motor events
Supplemental motor cortex function
Planning of motor movement
Function of post central gyrus
Perceiving an processing sensory information
Function of superior parietal lobe
Feeling shape, texture, size
Function of inferior parietal lobe
Interpretation and integration of sensory information
Occipital lobe bordered by
Preoccipital notch and parietal-occipital sulcus
