Association areas

These functional areas of the cerebral cortex integrate information

sensory, motor and other information from other brain areas; thus
enabling higher order mental processes such as language,
thinking, problem solving, etc.

Auditory

This is the primary cortex in the

temporal lobe

Brocas

This area of the frontal lobe is

responsible for speech production

Cerebral cortex
This structure is 2-5 mm thick, convoluted surface, responsible for speech, decision making,
planning, etc.

Cerebrum

The cerebral cortex is located on the

outer layer of the

Contralteral

The left side of the brain controls the

right side of the body & vice verca

Executive

The association areas in the Frontal lobe is

responsible for the ___________________
function i.e. planning, decision making, etc.

Frontal
The association areas in this lobe are responsible for personality, temperament, planning,
decision making.

Motor

This functional area of the cerebral cortex

receives, processes & sends information
about voluntary movement.

Motor

This is the primary cortex in the

frontal lobe

Neglect

Damage to the Parietal lobe can result in

___________________ syndrome.

Occipital

The association areas in this lobe bring together

information from other parts of the cerebral cortex to
organise and interpret visual information in a meaningful
way,

Parietal

The association areas in this lobe are

responsible for spatial awareness

Sensory

These functional areas of the cerebral cortex

receive & process information abouts vision,
sound, touch, etc

Skeletal

The motor cortex controls movement

of ___________ muscles

Somatosensory

This is the primary cortex in the

Temporal lobe

Somatosensory

This cortex processes sensory information

(touch) re pain, pressure, temperature

Temporal

The association areas in this lobe are

involved in memory formation, object
identification and speech

Visual

This is the primary cortex in the

Occipital lobe.

Wernickes

This area of the temporal lobe is

responsible for speech comprehension
