Study Notes
Cerebral Cortex
- The outer covering of the brain's cerebral hemispheres is composed of gray matter.
- The cerebral hemispheres are controlled by the opposite side of the body.
- Stimuli projected on the right ear projects onto the left hemisphere.
Language and Hemispheric Specialization
- Language processing is primarily located in the left hemisphere for most right-handed individuals.
- Hemispheric specialization occurs through maturation, after birth, and throughout childhood.
- "Split-brain" patients have had their corpus callosum severed to prevent the spread of epileptic seizures.
Dichotic Listening
- Dichotic listening is an experimental task where subjects listen to spoken words over headphones, with a different word spoken into each ear.
- Most people show an advantage for words piped into the right ear, which is processed in the left hemisphere.
Language Disorders
- The Egyptians reported speech loss after a blow to the head 3000 years ago.
- Paul Broca discovered damage to the left inferior frontal region (Broca's area) of a language-impaired patient in a postmortem analysis.
- Broca's area is involved in language production, and damage to this area can result in Broca's aphasia.
Broca's Aphasia
- Broca's aphasia is characterized by production impairments, but relatively intact comprehension.
- Patients with Broca's aphasia often have right hemiparesis, which is a weakening of the right arm and leg.
- Examples of Broca's aphasia include difficulty in understanding language, fluent speech, often nonsensical, and an inability to repeat words or sentences.
Wernicke's Aphasia
- Wernicke's aphasia is characterized by receptive impairments, difficulty understanding language, and speech production with a superficial structure and rhythm but is incomprehensible.
- Damage to the left temporal lobe, specifically Wernicke's area, can result in Wernicke's aphasia.
Models of Language
- The Wernicke-Geschwind model describes the Language processing pathway from Wernicke's area to Broca's area.
- Conduction aphasia is characterized by a marked inability to repeat words or sentences, but relatively well-preserved auditory comprehension.
Other Language Disorders
- Global aphasia is characterized by impaired comprehension and production, with residual overlearned speech.
- Transcortical sensory aphasia is characterized by a severe comprehension deficit, but preserved repetition.
- Transcortical motor aphasia is characterized by deficits similar to Broca's aphasia, but preserved repetition.
Sleep and Memory
- The hippocampus teaches the cortex during slow-wave sleep (SWS) through replay.
- During REM sleep, the cortex incorporates new memories into existing knowledge.
- Sleep is necessary for memory consolidation and learning.
The Brain and Language
- The brain has two hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum.
- Language processing involves speech perception, lexicon, semantics, orthography, morphology, and syntax.
- The brain has different stages of sleep, including REM and non-REM sleep, which are essential for memory consolidation and learning.
