PSY393H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Posterior Parietal Cortex, Fusiform Gyrus, Lateral Sulcus
Document Summary
Comprises of all tissue bellow sylvian fissure and anterior to the occipital cortex. Extensions and connections of temporal lobe extended through the brain. Lots of info from different areas into temporal lobe from sts (auditory, visual, somatic) Primary and secondary visual/auditory cortex ending in temporal pole. Directing movement based on sound (dorsal) a. b. Auditory visual information perirhinal cortex (beside hippocampal formation: entorhinal cortex hippocampus. Perrett: firing of sts cells in monkeys in reaction to movement in particular directions. Temporal activity was similar for all (stereotypical responses to complex/diverse stimuli) Selective activations of tl occurred at specific time points in the movie. Close up shots of faces activated the fusiform face area. Area te = complex feature (i. e. , orientation size, colour, texture) Neural pattern of activity similar between similar objects. Right tl lesions produces deficit in face recognition. What you see in the mirror is what your brain recognizes as your face.
