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.
