Brain Flashcards
(42 cards)
Respiratory and cardiac centers, autonomics, CN 5-12
medulla and pons
reflexes to light and sound, proximal flexor relay, motoric relay, CN 3 and 4
midbrain
relay station, sensory fibers, pulvinar region = intergration of sensory information
thalamus
thalamus: sensory from face
VPM
ventral posteromedial
thalamus: sensory from arms and legs
VPL
ventral posterolateral
thalamus: sensory from eyes
lateral geniculate
thalamus: sensory from ears
medial geniculate
intellect and assocation
cerebrum
cerebrum: localization “somesthetic cortex”
broadman 1,2,3
problem solving
parietal lobe
cerebrum: vision
broadman 17
occipital
cerebrum: superior lobe
hearing
temporal
cerebrum: inferior
long term memory, smell
temporal
hippocampal cells
memory
parahippocampal cells
smell
cerebrum: junction of parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes
sensory matching
interpretation
wernicke’s area
how is wernicke’s area destroyed
B1/thiamine def. due to alcoholism
causes: sensory aphasia, cant understand language
cerebrum: voluntary motor
precentral gyrus
broadman 4,4s,6
corticospinal tracts
frontal lobe
broca’s speech area in inferior frontal lobe on left and broadman’s 44 receive blood supply from where
middle cerebral artery
motor aphasia
associated with amygdala
pleasure or pain
limbic system
inhibits thalamus, provides background muscle tone
basal ganglia
pill rolling tremor, mask like face
forward stoop posture
shuffling propulsive gate
inclusion bodies - lewy bodies
parkinson’s dz
due to:
decreased dopamine from substantia nigra in midbrain
secretes GABA
caudate
putamen + caudate
striatum
globus pallidus + putamen
lentiform
