TRANSVERSE SECTION OF SPINAL CORD SHOWING ASCENDING AND


DESCENDING TRACTS:
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF CEREBRAL CORTEX:
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF FRONTAL LOBE:

1. Primary motor area: Occupies the precentral gyrus extending over the superior
border of paracentral lobule Brodmann’s area 4 Controls the voluntary movements of the
opposite side of the body.

2. Secondary motor area ( Premotor area): Occupies the anterior part of


precentral gyrus and posterior parts of superior , middle, inferior frontal gyrus.
Brodmann’s area 6,8,44,45 It programs the activity of primary motor area and helps in
generating muscular movements to perform specific task

3. Frontal eye field area: Occupies the central part of middle frontal gyrus Brodmann’s
area 6,8,9 It controls the voluntary conjugate movements of the eye.

4. Motor speech area of Broca: Located between anterior and ascending ramus (
Triangular part) and ascending and posterior ramus ( opercular part) of lateral sulcus in
inferior frontal gyrus. Brodmann’s area 44,45 Present in only dominant hemisphere.
Bring about the formation of words.

5. Prefrontal cortex: Consists of greater parts of superior ,middle and inferior frontal
gyrus, the orbital gyrus, most of the medial frontal gyrus and anterior half of cingulate
gyrus. Brodmann’s area 9,10,11,12 It is concerned with the make up of individual
personality. it also influences judgments and initiatives.
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF PARIETAL LOBE:

1. Primary somesthetic area (Primary somatic sensory cortex): Occupies the


postcentral gyrus and the posterior part of paracentral lobule. Brodmann’s area 1,2,3
Recieves somatosensory inputs from thalamus of the contralateral side of the body.

2. Secondary somesthetic area ( Secondary somatic sensory cortex): Lowest


part of postcentral sulcus. Functional significance is not well understood but it is believed
that it interpret the sensory inputs from primary somesthetic area correlates it with past
memory and try to make a sense out of it.

3. Somesthetic association area: It occupies the superior parietal lobule. Brodmann’s


area 5,7 It correlates the sensory inputs coming from different sensory area and interpret
it.
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF OCCIPITAL LOBE:

1. Primary visual area: Occupies posterior part of calcarine sulcus. Brodmann’s area
17 Receives fibers from lateral geniculate body.

2. Secondary visual area: Surround the primary visual area Relate the visual
information received from primary visual area with past experience and interpret it.

3. Occipital eye field: Located within the secondary visual area involved in conjugate
involuntary movement of eyes.
FUNCTIONAL AREAS OF TEMPORAL LOBE:

1. Primary auditory area: occupies the inferior wall of lateral sulcus in superior temporal
gyrus Brodmann’s area 41,42 Receives fibers from medial geniculate body and involve in
reception of sound.

2. Secondry auditory area: Surround the primary auditory area. Brodmann area 22
Interpret sound.

3. Sensory speech area of wernicke: Occupies the posterior part of superior temporal
gyrus and inferior part of parietal lobe. Permits the understanding of written and spoken
language.
GYRI and SULCI:
The arcuate fasciculus connects two important areas for language use, Broca's
area and Wernicke's area.

FRONTAL LOBE:
Divides into 4 gyri by 3 sulcus:
1. Precental gyrus by precentral sulcus.
2. Superior,
3. Middle,
4. and Inferior frontal gyrus by Superior and Inferior frontal sulcus.
PARIETAL LOBE:
Divides into 3 Gyri by 2 sulcus:
1. Postcentral gyrus by postcentral sulcus.
2. Superior parietal lobule,
3. And inferior parietal lobule by Intraparietal sulcus.

TEMPORAL LOBE:
Divided into 3 gyri by 2 sulcus:
1. Superior temporal gyri,
2. Middle temporal gyri,
3. Inferior temporal gyri by Superior and Middle temporal sulci.

OCCIPITAL LOBE:
Divides into 2 gyri:
1. Superior and Inferior gyri by Lateral occipital sulcus.
2. Lunate sulcus: Separates these gyri from occipital lobe.
