    Study Notes

    Brain Areas and Functions

    • The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions such as long-term planning and judgment.
    • The temporal lobe is associated with emotion and memory.
    • The primary motor cortex is responsible for motor planning and generates motor programs.
    • The inferior frontal gyrus (Broca's area) is associated with articulate speech.
    • The posterior parietal cortex is important for word processing and comprehension of speech.
    • The primary motor cortex is responsible for the final stage of cortical processing of motor commands.

    Disorders and Conditions

    • Prosopagnosia is the condition in which a person is unable to recognize faces.
    • Aphasia is the impairment or loss of language abilities due to brain damage.
    • Agnosia is the condition in which a person is unable to recognize objects despite having intact vision.
    • Anosognosia is the condition in which a person is unaware of their own illness.
    • Wernicke's aphasia is the condition in which a person has difficulty understanding language but can produce fluent speech.
    • Broca's aphasia is the condition in which a person has difficulty producing speech and has poor comprehension.

    Other Concepts

    • The Wada test is a procedure used to determine the dominant hemisphere for speech.
    • Hierarchy processing is the processing of information in a system of hierarchies, going from lower to higher levels.
    • Parallel processing involves groups of brain areas processing information in parallel and exchanging feedback with each other at the same level.
    • Multimodal association areas are involved in perception and language, and are responsible for integrating information from the environment and creating rich context for memories.
