Wernicke’s area gives reference to memory and sound. Permits perception of sound and differentiating noise from speech, thunder, or music. Conscious perception of sensations like upset stomach, full bladder, and holding your breath. Located posterior to the gustatory cortex. Uses past visual experience to interpret visual stimuli; ability to recognize faces Largest cortical sensory area. Region in the occipital lobe that receives visual information that originates on the retina of the eye. Controls voluntary movement of the eyes. Integrate sensory inputs such as temperature, pressure, etc… Produces understanding of an object being felt. Pyramidal cells allow conscious control and precision of voluntary movements of skeletal muscles; located in precentral gyrus of frontal lobe This region selects and sequences motor movements using sensory information received from other cortical areas; anterior to Primary Motor Cortex. Located on the post-central gyrus of parietal lobe, this area allows for spatial discrimination of the body. Motor speech area, directing muscles involved in speech. Is present only in the left hemisphere Superior margin of temporal lobe; interprets sound impulses allowing us to identify rhythm, loudness, and location of sound stimuli.
