1
Q

Hypothalamus

A

Integrates behaviors with visceral functions
Maintains homeostasis
Regulation of circadian rhythms
Endocrine regulation

2
Q

Epithalamus - Pineal Gland

A

endocrine glad, helps regulate circadian rhythms

3
Q

Subthalamus

A

BG nucleus, facilitates output nucleii

4
Q

Limbic System Function

A

Emotions and behavior, memory

5
Q

Limbic System Structures

A

hypothalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, insula, basal forebrain

6
Q

Thalamus

A

Regulate activity level of cortical neurons. Has 3 groups of nucleii (anterior, medial, lateral)

7
Q

Relay Nuclei

A

info from sensory systems, BG, and cerebellum to cortex

8
Q

Association Nuclei

A

Emotional memory info

9
Q

Non-specific nuclei

A

consciousness, arousal, attention

10
Q

Cerebral Cortex Layers

A

Neocortex: 6
Archicortex: 3

11
Q

Archicortex

A

Olfactory
Medial Temporal
-Limbic system
-Hippocampus

12
Q

Unimodal

A

secondary sensory, further processes a specific sense

13
Q

Heteromodal

A

association cortex - higher order processing, integration of information

14
Q

Frontal Eye Fields

A

initiate voluntary movement of eyes

15
Q

Micturition Inhibitory Area

A

voluntary control of peeing

16
Q

Internal capsule: Anterior limb

A

tracts to frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex

17
Q

Internal Capsule: Posterior Limb

A

Corticospinal: initiate voluntary movement
Corticobulbar: to cranial nerves

18
Q

Primary Somatosensory Cortex

A

Post Central gyrus

19
Q

Primary Auditory

A

Lateral fissure/superior temporal gyrus

20
Q

Vestibular cortex

A

posterior to primary somatosensory

21
Q

Primary visual cortex

A

calcarine sulcus

22
Q

Primary motor cortex

A

precentral gyrus

23
Q

Supplementary motor cortex

A

anterior to lower body region of primary motor cortex.

Initiation of movement, planning bimanual and sequential movement

24
Q

Premotor cortex

A

anterior to upper body region of primary motor cortex

Planning movements of the mouth

25
Q

Broca’s Area

A

anterior to face region of primary motor cortex

planning movements of the mouth

26
Q

Broca’s corresponding area in right hemisphere

A

non-verbal communication-emotional gestures, tone of voice
