Study Notes

Brain Anatomy

  • The speech area is located in the Broca's area and Wernicke's area in the frontal lobe.

Pattern and Face Recognition

  • The occipitotemporal pathway in the temporal lobe is responsible for recognizing patterns and faces.

Brain Hemispheres Connection

  • The corpus callosum is the fiber tract that connects the two cerebral hemispheres.

Diencephalon Function

  • The diencephalon is the most posterior (rear) part of the forebrain, responsible for regulating body temperature, hunger, and thirst.

Meningeal Layers

  • The three meningeal layers are:
    • Dura mater: outermost layer, protects the brain and spinal cord from injury.
    • Arachnoid mater: middle layer, cushions the brain and spinal cord.
    • Pia mater: innermost layer, closely associated with the brain and spinal cord, supplying them with oxygen and nutrients.
