SPA 3101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Supplementary Motor Area, Primary Motor Cortex, Precentral Gyrus
Document Summary
Outline: neuroanatomy review, motor control of swallowing, overview of motor control of speech. Integration, decision making: bro(cid:272)a"s area, speech and language communication. Parietal lobe: function, somatic body sense, somatic: sense that cognitively aware of, landmarks, postcentral gyrus (s1, primary sensory cortex, presses somatic sense from the body, parietal association area, executing higher level integration of sensory information, propria-perception. Temporal lobe: function, auditory reception, receptive language processing, landmarks, temporal association area. Important for recognition and naming stimuli: hes(cid:272)hel"s gyrus, auditory reception, primary auditory cortex is housed, wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s area, for, language comprehension. Occipital lobe: function, visual stimulation, visual processing. Cerebellum: function, coordinating motor commands, error processing, calculating differences between intended movements and actual movements, cognitive processing. Integration center: base of brain, little brain. Brainstem: function, houses ascending and descending tracts, descending: motor information, ascending from periphery through the brainstem to cortex, modulates important body functions, breathing sleeping swallowing, landmark, midbrain, pons, medulla, cranial nerves, cranial nuclei.
