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
