Name: Score:100 Multiple choice questions
Definition 1 of 100
makes connections from frontal lobe to parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes in a fan-like
fashion
connects the anterior speech mechanism
Primary Sensory reception areas
Primary motor cortex (precentral gyrus)
Superior longitudinal fasciculus pathway
Primary auditory cortex (Heschl's gyrus)
Term 2 of 100
Rostral (spine)
front of the brain
within the brain
away from brain
towards the brain
,Definition 3 of 100
lies above the medulla in the neuraxis
serves in part as a connection to the hemispheres of the cerebellum
Cerebellum
Midbrain
Pons
Thalamus
Term 4 of 100
Prefrontal cortex
Brodmann 18,19
Function: These areas participate in the recognition and appreciation of visual stimuli. They
integrate visual info. giving meaning to what is seen by relating the current stimulus to past
experiences and knowledge. A lot of memory is stored here.
Brodmann 9-12
Function: Contributes to complex cognitive functions such as reasoning, abstract thinking,
self-monitoring decision making, planning, and pragmatic behaviors. May be called
biological intelligence.
Brodmann 40
Function: Symbolic integration for writing.
Brodmann 5,7
Function: Capable of more detailed discrimination and analysis than is the primary sensory
area. MIght be involved in sensing how hot or cold something is rather than simply
identifying it as hot or cold. Information is first processed in the primary area then sent to
secondary sensory area.
,Term 5 of 100
Ventral (spine)
towards the abdomen
bottom of the brain
axilla and brachium
towards the head
Term 6 of 100
Describe the primary function of the basal ganglia.
runs throughout the entire length of the brain stem
It has a range of automatic functions including motor control of the visceral organs and
contribution to postural tone of muscles
Dominant - primary responsibility for activities that require spatial relationships.
Non-dominant - relate more to various linguistic and analytical functions
makes connections to other subcortical nuclei, thalamus, brainstem structures and cortical
nuclei to form the basal ganglia control circuit, which is part of the extrapyramidal system.
They function to help regulate and control motor movements and muscle tone.
makes connections from frontal lobe to parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes in a fan-like
fashion
connects the anterior speech mechanism
, Definition 7 of 100
anterior part of the spinal cord mediates motor output from the spinal cord
anterior horn cell of the ventral gray matter is the point of synapse of the motor tracts with the
ventral roots of the spinal cord
the dorsal and posterior portion of the spinal cord mediates sensory input to the spinal cord
Cerebellum
Spinal Cord
Diencephalon
Thalamus
Term 8 of 100
Describe the importance of the corpus callosum to speech and language functions, especially in
light of the research conducted with split brain patients
runs throughout the entire length of the brain stem
It has a range of automatic functions including motor control of the visceral organs and
contribution to postural tone of muscles
The strip of sensory cortex lying directly in back of the central fissure presents a mirror
image of the motor strip of the frontal lobe.
The sensory strip is involved with the interpretation of "sensations" from incoming stimuli
The findings suggest that the corpus callosum plays a decisive role in transmitting
language heard in the right, to the left hemisphere. Language is processed in the dominant
hemisphere by the major mechanisms for speech and language.
identify lesions in the connective pathways of the brain
credited with almost resurrecting the early neurologic literature of Europe focusing on
language disorders and related deficits
