|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Lobes that receive olfactory and auditory input and are involved in memory, abstract thought, and judgement. |

|
Definition
Primary motor cortex
Premotor area
Prefrontal area
Motor speech area (Broca's area) |
|
|
Term
| Function of the prefrontal area |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Function of the premotor area |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Function of the primary motor cortex |
|
Definition
| Specific movement of skeletal muscle |
|
|
Term
Function of Broca's area
(Motor Speech Area) |
|
Definition
Control muscle movement related to speech...tongue, cheek, larynx.
Left hemisphere only. |
|
|
Term
| Functional Regions of the parietal lobes |
|
Definition
Primary somatic sensory cortex
Somatic sensory association area
Sensory speech area (Wernicke's Area) |
|
|
Term
| Function of the primary somatic sensory cortex. |
|
Definition
| Receives action potentials relative to superficial "general" senses of specific areas of the body. |
|
|
Term
| Function of the somatic sensory association area. |
|
Definition
| Integrate and process information received by primary sensory cortex. |
|
|
Term
| Function of Wernicke's Area |
|
Definition
Formulate and develop speech.
Left hemisphere only. |
|
|
Term
| Functional region of the frontal lobe that is necessary for complex, skilled and learned movement. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Functional area of the frontal lobe that is involved with motivation and foresight associated with movement. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| How Wernicke's Area and Broca's area work together for speech. |
|
Definition
Wernicke's area comprehends and formulates speech.
Broca's area receives input from Wernicke's and sends impulses to the premotor and motor areas which cause muscle movement for speech. |

|
Term
|
Definition
| Recorded but lost through time because of no association. |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| Memory stored in the cerebellum and premotor area of cerebrum. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Series of neurons associated with the long term memory of a piece of information. |

Definition
|
|
Term
| Involve action potentials within the parietal lobe of the brain. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Involves altered resting membrane potential in the post synaptic cell. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Involves a change in the shape of the neuron due to association or repetition. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Pathway of Long-term memory storage |
|
Definition
-
A.P. in presynaptic cell causes glutamate to be released into the synaptic cleft.
-
Glutamate binds with ligand gated ions channels stimulating influx of Calcium ions in postsynaptic cell.
-
Calcium binds with calmodulin intracellularly.
-
Calmodulin activates cAMP
-
cAMP enters nucleus and binds to DNA to act as promotor for synthesis of NMDA Glutamate receptors.
-
Protein synthesis of NMDA receptor
-
Receptors added to the membrane, changing its shape.
|
|
|
Term
| What creates a strong memory. |
|
Definition
| Repeated activations of the cell from different directions, create more NMDA receptors. The more NMDA receptors, the stronger the memory. |
