What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
Which of the areas of the cerebral cortex receives sensation?
The primary sensory area which is located on the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.
What is Moderate cortical atrophy and scattered areas of chronic ischemic white matter changes of the brain?
'Atrophy' just means a reduction in size, due to disuse or disease. The cerebral cortex is the grey-matter (outer layer) of the brain that contains the neural cell bodies; as opposed to the white-matter which contains myelinated axons coursing away from each cell body. 'Ischaemia' refers to oxygen starvation in the brain (e.g. from stroke). Cortical atrophy due to ischaemia is therefore a reduction in the grey-matter volume due to lack of oxygen, followed by axonal pruning.
What benefit does CSF provide to the areas it covers?
Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF) serves to cushion these relatively delicate structures, as well as supplying important nutrients for brain cells.
Multiple T2 hyperintense white matter lesions?
Multiple areas of T2 spots were seen in the white matter on both sides
What is responsible for communication between cerebral areas and between the cerebral cortex and lower CNS centers?
The cerebral white matter
What is the association area of the cerebral cortex?
The association areas of the cerebral cortex enable us to interact effectively and support abstract thinking and language.
What three function types within the cerebral cortex?
Brodmann areas. The three types of functional areas are association, motor and sensory areas.
What part of the cerebral cortex do sensations and emotions come together?
The multimodal associate areas
The islands of gray matter inside the hemisphere of the cerebrum are known as the cerebral cortex?
The few islands of gray matter within the interior of the cerebrum are made up of neuron cell bodies and unmyelinated axons. These areas of gray matter act as the central processing unit of the brain. Many things can affect this gray matter, such as, smoking, child abuse, alcoholism, and drugs.
What is T2 hyperintense?
Hyperintensities refer to areas of high intensity on particular types of magnetic resonance imaging scans of the hum an brain. These small regions of high intensity are observed on T2 weighted MRI images within cerebral white matter or subcortical gray matter.
What is celebral edema?
The term cerebral edema is used to describe excess fluid in certain areas of the brain. The intracellular and extracellular areas are the spaces effected.
What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
How does meningitis affect cerebral spinal fluid flow?
damaging or killing neurons and neuroglia in the affected areas
Which of the areas of the cerebral cortex receives sensation?
The primary sensory area which is located on the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.
What are the common causes of cerebral palsy?
Cerebral palsy occurs when certain areas of the developing brain are damaged. This can happen during pregnancy and during the birthing process. It can also happen due to lack of oxygen during birth.
What are the three types of fibers that can be found in the white matter of cerebrum?
association fibres = connect the different cortical areas in the same hemispherecommisural fibres = connect one part of the CNS on one side with the same part on the opposite sideprojection fibres = connect the cerebral cortex with lower centres
