Cerebral cortex and lobes Flashcard Deck - 10 Cards

Flashcard 1: Identify the motor speech area located in the inferior frontal gyrus (Brodmann areas 44 and 45).

Answer: Broca's area

Flashcard 2: Structures of the _____ system include the hippocampus, amygdala, fornix, mammillary bodies, and cingulate gyrus

Answer: limbic

Flashcard 3: Which cortical area corresponds to Brodmann area 17?

Answer: Primary visual cortex (V1)

Extra: Brodmann area 17 is located in the occipital lobe, specifically in the walls and floor of the calcarine sulcus.

Flashcard 4: Conduction aphasia is caused by damage to the _____, which is a large fiber bundle that connects Broca's area with Wernicke's area

Answer: arcuate fasciculus

Flashcard 5: What functional cortical area corresponds to Brodmann area 4?

Answer: Primary motor cortex

Extra: Brodmann area 4 is located in the precentral gyrus of the frontal lobe.

Flashcard 6: What syndrome is associated with lesion of the following areas? 1. Spinothalamic tract 2. Spinal trigeminal nucleus 3. Hypothalamospinal tract 4. Nucleus ambiguus (CN IX, X) 5. Vestibular nucleus (CN VIII) 6. Inferior cerebellar peduncle

Answer: Lateral medullary (Wallenberg) syndrome

Flashcard 7: Which Brodmann area corresponds to the premotor cortex?

Answer: Brodmann area 6 (Premotor cortex)

Extra: Brodmann area 6 is located anterior to the primary motor cortex (Area 4). It includes the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area (SMA), and it is responsible for planning and sequencing complex movements.

Flashcard 8: What is an Argyll-Robertson pupil?

Answer: pupil that is unreactive to light but constricts with accomodation

Flashcard 9: Embryological origin of the neurohypophysis

Answer: Neuroectoderm (Diencephalon)

Extra: The neurohypophysis (posterior pituitary) develops from a downward extension of the neuroectoderm from the floor of the diencephalon (the infundibulum). In contrast, the adenohypophysis (anterior pituitary) develops from Rathke's pouch (oral ectoderm).

Flashcard 10: pineal gland

Answer: neuroectoderm
