Document Summary

If we pull down the temporal lobe at the sylvian fissure, we see the insula. Insula (pale) and the heschl gyri (two of them in this brain) Posterior paracentral lobule (motor and somatosensory for feet) Default running in background functions (ex: when daydreaming) Can be seen on ventral view of brain. Major structures of the medial temporal lobe/ventral view of the brain. Major sulci: fusiform/occipital-temporal: high level visual processing, know the sulci (ex: rhinal sulcus, collateral sulcus. You don"t need to know the gyrus rectus. Went through brain to look at cytoarchitecture, divides to around 45 regions. Area 3, area 1, area 2: primary somatosensory cortex. Ex: the more abstract and complex movements are processed in premotor areas. In sensory, the modalities are put together instead of broken down. Association cortex in the supramarginal gyrus and the superior parietal lobule for somatosensory association.
