Feb 22, 2024 · Dysfunctional circuits were topographically arranged from occipital to frontal, ranging from interconnections with sensorimotor cortices in dystonia, the primary motor cortex in Tourette’s ...
May 23, 2022 · Your cortex is divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Each of these lobes is responsible for processing different types of information. Collectively, your cerebral cortex is responsible for the higher-level processes of the human brain, including language, memory, reasoning, thought, learning, decision-making ...
Jul 25, 2023 · The cerebral cortex is composed of a complex association of tightly packed neurons covering the outermost portion of the brain. It is the gray matter of the brain. Lying right under the meninges, the cerebral cortex divides into four lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes, each with a multitude of functions. It is characteristically known for its bulges of brain tissue known as ...
The history of clinical frontal lobe study is long and rich which provides valuable insights into neuropsychologic determinants of functions of prefrontal cortex (PFC). PFC is often classified as multimodal association cortex as extremely processed information from various sensory modalities is integrated here in a precise fashion to form the ...
Oct 30, 2023 · The orbitofrontal cortex is an important region of the brain involved in the processing of rewards and punishments. It receives and integrates inputs from all the sensory modalities: taste, smell, somatosensory, auditory and visual, as well as visceral sensory and visceral motor information. The orbitofrontal cortex functions as part of varying ...
The prototypical case of prefrontal cortex damage is Phineas Gage. Gage was a railroad foreman in the mid-1800s who somehow survived having a metal rod shot clear through his skull and brain during a work-related accident. Much of Gage's left frontal lobe and prefrontal cortex were destroyed. It has been suggested that Gage was a responsible ...
Jul 30, 2023 · Studies show that the PFC, mainly the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, downregulates hippocampal activity to suppress unwanted thoughts.[1][2] The prefrontal association cortex is a cortical region in the anterior part of the cerebrum; it is involved in the top-down processing of sensory and motor information.[3]
