PSY393H5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Cerebral Cortex, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe
Document Summary
Left hempishere extends farther back and wider in back compared to right. Right hemisphere exptends more forward and wider at the front it is slightly larger and heavier. Left contains more grey matter while right contains more white. Left lateral fissure more gently sloped while right lateral fissure extends further and turns up at the end. Planum temporale bigger on the left than the right. Occurs in pre term infant or children with dyslexia. Primary auditory cortex is slight smaller in the left than right. Secondary auditory cortex is larger in left than right. Dendrites cell bodies grey matter so left hemisphere more branching more white matter in the right so not as much branching. There is more branching in the left than right more higher order branching in the left. Especially in region we know to be lateralized for function. Perysylvian regions just took areas around the sylivian .
