what is the location of the visual centre
occipital lobe
1 of 47
What is the funtion of the visual centre
different areas produe different visual information e.g. shape/colour
2 of 47
where does visual processing take place
the retina
3 of 47
what is the role of the optic nerve
nerve impulses travel to different parts of the brain via optic nerve
4 of 47
are the visual centres cross hemispheric? and explain
yes - the right hemisphere recieves information from the left side of the body and vice versa
5 of 47
Where are the auditory centres located
temporal lobes - auditory cortex
6 of 47
what is the function of the auditory cortex
hearing
7 of 47
what happens in the cochlear
sound waves are converted to nerve impulses
8 of 47
where do these nerve impulses travel
the auditory cortex
9 of 47
where do they then travel
the brain stem
10 of 47
what happens in the brain stem
de-coding
11 of 47
what does the thalamus do
acts as a relay station that carries out further processing of the stimulus
12 of 47
where is the motor cortex located
the frontal lobe along the pre-central gyrus
13 of 47
what is the function of the motor cortex
generates voluntary/ deliberate motor movement
14 of 47
is the motor cortex cross-hemispheric
yes
15 of 47
how is the motor cortex arranged
logically - the area that controls the foot is next to the area that control the leg
16 of 47
what are the areas of practical application that can come from research into the motor cortex
strokes and rehabilitation
17 of 47
what is the location of the somatosensory cortex
parietal lobe along the post central gyrus
18 of 47
what is the function of the somatosensory cortex
detect sensory events from different regions of the body
19 of 47
what kind of information is processed in the somatosensory cortex
sensory touch information
20 of 47
what does the somatosensory cortex use sensory information to do
uses sensory information from the skin to produce sensations that localise to specific parts of the body
21 of 47
is the somatosensory cortex cross hemispheric
yes
22 of 47
what are the two language centres called
broca's area and wernickes area
23 of 47
where is the broca's area located
left frontal lobe
24 of 47
what is the Broca's area responsible for
responsible for speech production and cognitive tasks
25 of 47
what was Broca's patient called
tan
26 of 47
What was tan able/unable to do
he could understand language, but not speak at all (apart from saying tan)
27 of 47
who else did Broca study
8 other patients with damage to the left frontal lobe
28 of 47
who discovered the two areas of the Broca's area
federenko
29 of 47
what are these two regions
language and cognitive tasks
30 of 47
where is the wernickes area located
back of left temporal lobe
31 of 47
what is the function of the wernickes area
language comprehension
32 of 47
what could wernickes patients do/not do
could speak but not understand language
33 of 47
RANDOM QUESTIONS
ENJOY :)))
34 of 47
in which lobe is the visual cortex
occipital
35 of 47
what is the function of the somatosensory
detects sensory events from across the body
36 of 47
what centre is located on both sides of the brain
auditory
37 of 47
what happens in the cochlear
sound waves are converted into nerve impulses
38 of 47
which centres are cross hemispheric
visual, motor, somatosensory
39 of 47
what is located in the parital lobe
somatosensory
40 of 47
what are the two language centres called
Brocas and wernickes
41 of 47
which language area is responsible for speech production
Broca's
42 of 47
where is dedicated to processing sensory touch inromation
somatosensory
43 of 47
what is the motor coretx responsible for
generating voluntary motor movement
44 of 47
what did federenko discover
2 regions of brocas area - cognitive tasks and speech
45 of 47
which two centres are located in the temporal lobe
auditory and wernickes
46 of 47
which two centres are located in the frontal lobe
Broca's and motor
