FOREBRAIN : limbic system + neocortex

Question 1

Neocortex

• > sulci
• > gyri
• > fissure

Answer 1

• sensory perception / spatial reasoning
• generation of motor command
• conscious thought

Sulci -> shallow cleft - cingulate / central sulcus
Gyri -> ridge
Fissure -> cleft deeply extending into the brain
indents the ventricles

Question 2

Central sulcus

Answer 2

binds hemispheres
-> transmission between

communication between lobes

Question 3

Limbic system

                          1. Amygala 
                          2. Hippocampus 
                          3. Cingulate Cortex

Answer 3

-> involved in conscious acts
-> self-regulating behaviors
emotion / personal memories
spatial + social behavior

1. Amygdala -> basal of temporal lobe = emotions
2. Hippocampus -> anterior medial temporal lobe
   pers. memory + spatial navigation
3. Cingulate Cortex -> dorsal to callosum
   sexual behavior / social interact.
   decision making / exec. func.
