Document Summary

There is separate processing in each hemisphere. The more control you need over something, the more cortical space is devoted to it. A way to stop that inhibitory neuron, and you do so by inhibiting it. But when both a and b are stiumalted, there is no action potential observed in c: neuron b generates an ipsp. They are close to the primary projection areas: input goes into the primary, then moves onto the association. Apraxia: inability to perform smooth actions. Agnosia: inability to interpret sensory information, prosopagnosia inability to recognize faces. Fusiform gyrus responsible for recognition of people. Aphasia: speech, comes in two varieties: Expressive: difficulty stringing words together; can"t talk in smooth sentences, telegraphic way of speaking, receptive/wernicke"s aphasia. Difficulty understanding: where would you expect to find broca"s area: Frontal lobe: where would you expect to find wenicke"s area: Results from damage (stroke) to right hemisphere (parietal and temporal.
