Study Notes
Gross Neural Structures and Occupational Performance
- Understanding neuroanatomical structures is essential for assessing occupational performance.
- Important for occupational therapy to grasp the relationship between neural structures and functional capabilities.
Cerebral Lobes
- Divided into four primary lobes: Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, and Occipital.
Frontal Lobe
- Borders: Central sulcus (posterior), Lateral fissure (lateral), Corpus callosum (medial).
- Gyri: Includes Pre-central gyrus, Superior frontal gyrus, Middle and Inferior frontal gyri.
- Key Functional Areas:
- Primary Motor Cortex: Located in the pre-central gyrus, responsible for contralateral motor control. Injury leads to motor hemiparesis.
- Broca's Area: In the left inferior frontal gyrus, crucial for expressive speech. Injury results in expressive language difficulties.
- Pre-Motor & Supplementary Motor Areas: Involved in planning and coordinating movement; injury can cause apraxia.
- Pre-Frontal Cortex: Responsible for executive functions; injuries can lead to cognitive and behavioral problems.
Parietal Lobe
- Borders: Central sulcus (anterior), Parieto-occipital fissure (posterior), Corpus callosum (medial).
- Gyri: Post-central gyrus, Superior and Inferior parietal lobules.
- Key Functional Areas:
- Primary Somatosensory Cortex: Located in the post-central gyrus; processes contralateral sensory information. Injury leads to sensory loss.
- Somatosensory Association Cortex: Involves spatial and perceptual functions; injuries can produce agnosias.
- Wernicke's Area: Located in the left inferior parietal lobule; critical for language comprehension. Injury results in receptive aphasia.
Temporal Lobe
- Borders: Lateral fissure (superior), Parieto-occipital sulcus to pre-occipital notch (posterior).
- Gyri: Includes Superior, Middle, and Inferior temporal gyri.
- Key Functional Areas:
- Primary Auditory Cortex: In the superior temporal gyrus; processes auditory information.
- Wernicke's Area: Located in the left posterior superior temporal gyrus; responsible for receptive language. Injuries can cause receptive and global aphasia.
- Limbic Functions: Parahippocampal gyrus (memory), Amygdala (emotional regulation).
Occipital Lobe
- Borders: Parieto-occipital sulcus (anterior).
- Gyri: Lateral occipital gyri, Cuneus gyrus, Calcarine sulcus, Lingual gyrus.
- Key Functional Areas:
- Primary Visual Cortex: Surrounds the calcarine sulcus; processes visual inputs. Damage leads to cortical visual impairment (CVI).
- Visual Association Cortex: Occupies remaining areas of the occipital lobe; involved in visual perception. Injuries can lead to agnosias and hallucinations.
