NROSCI 0080 Study Guide - Area Postrema, Golgi Apparatus, Midbrain Tectum
Document Summary
1. ) cns and pns from cns is brain and spinal from pns is somatic (cranial and spinal nerves) and autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) )sensory function (create sensory reality) motor function (control movement) plasticity (brain adapts) 3. ) cerebrum (left and right hemispheres) cerebellum (little brain, motor coordination) brain stem. Cortex, corpus callosum, limbic system, basal ganglia, olfactory bulb. Cortex: responsible for conscious behavior, part of end brain frontal lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe. Gyrus: small bumps formed by folding of cerebral cortex. Precentral gyrus: frontal lobe, primary motor cortex postcentral gyrus: temporal lobe, affects primary sensory cortex. 10. ) primary cortexes: motor and sensory association cortex: complex mental functions. Primary sensory corticle: upper right of hemisphere (side view) Primary motor cotex: upper left of hemisphere (side view) )limbic system: group of structures between cortex and brain stem. Cingulate cortex (area that looks like rainbow) function: emotions, sex, memory. Location: middle of each hemispheres function: movement control, addiction, pleasure and reward.
