Document Summary
Cmd 377 - lecture 21 - the cerebral cortex. The gray matter of the majority of the cerebral hemisphere. ~95% of the total cortical area in humans. Some restricted parts of the base of the telencephalon. Apical dendrites ascend to the cortical surface. Dendritic spines of the apical dendrites are the preferential site of synaptic contact. Decide whether information should be carried on you learn to carry this information (action potential) eventually create smoother, stronger movements with enough practice. Fibers to/from subcortical sites projection fibers. Connects frontal lobe to parietal, occipital, and temporal lobes. From the frontal lobe, through the temporal lobe, to the occipital lobe. Interconnects the orbital cortex and the anterior temporal cortex. Map of the cortex based on anatomical differences. 44, 45 opercular & triangular parts of inferior frontal gyrus broca"s area (on the left) Parietal 3, 1, 2 postcentral gyrus, paracentral lobule. Auditory association area; posterior portion = wernicke"s area. Primary cortices lower level information processing.
