Document Summary
*do not need to know about development (mentioned in section 8. 1) Know the functions of these parts of anatomy: Longitudinal fissure: separates the right and left cerebral hemispheres of the cerebrum. Separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe. Mirror neurons: neurons in frontal and parietal lobes that fired when studied monkeys performed goal- directed actions and when they observed others (monkeys and people) perform the same actions. Cerebral cortex, motor and sensory: precentral gyrus = primary motor cortex, postcentral gyrus = primary sensory cortex. All cerebral lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and insula, table 8. 1 | functions of the cerebral lobes. Voluntary motor control of skeletal muscles; personality; higher intellectual processes (e. g. , concentration, planning, and decision making); verbal communication. Somatesthetic interpretation (e. g. , cutaneous and muscular sensations); understanding speech and formulating words to express thoughts and emotions; interpretation of textures and shapes. Interpretation of auditory sensations; storage (memory) of auditory and visual experiences.
