IMPORTANT CENTERS OF THE
CEREBRAL CORTEX
OR
MAIN FUNCTIONAL AREAS
OF THE CEREBRAL CORTEX
The cerebral cortex is
important for:
Conscious awareness ,
Though,
Memory and
Intellect.
Most sensory modalities
ascend to the cortex
from the thalamus,
perceived & interpreted
in the light of the
previous experience.
Posterior part of
the cerebrum
receives sensory
information in:
1- Parietal lobe
(Somatosensory),
2- Occipital lobe
(Vision),
3- Temporal lobe
(Hearing).
• Information is
elaborated to the
association cortex,
( at the meeting of the
parietal, temporal &
occipital) for
identification by
touch, sight &
hearing.
• The limbic system
(medial part of
cerebrum) enable
storage & retrieval of
the information
processed in the
posterior cortex.
Storage & Retrieval of
information
• The frontal lobe
(anterior part of
cerebrum) is
concerned with
• the organization of
movement:
• 1-Primary motor
area.
• 2-Premotor area.
• 3-Supplementary
motor area.
• 4- Prefrontal area
(guidance of
complex motor
behaviour).
MOTOR AREA
• In precentral gyrus & anterior
part of the paracentral lobule.
• It corresponds to
Brodmann’s area 4 .
• Body is represented upside down.
• Size of the functional area is
directly proportional to the
skilled movement, not to the size
of the muscle.
• It is here that actions are
conceived and initiated.
• The principal subcortical afferent
to PMC is from Lateral ventral
nucleus (LVN) of thalamus.
• LVN receives its input from
globus pallidus & dentate
nucleus.
PRIMARY MOTOR CORTEX
(PMC)
• Lesion: Upper 1/3 and paracentral lobule leads to affection of
voluntary control in lower limb & perineum of the opposite side.
• Lower 2/3rds: affection of voluntary control of the head, neck & upper
limb on the opposite side.
• Isolated lesion of the premotor cortex leads to apraxia.
• (Inability to perform skilled complex voluntary movement in spite of
absence of muscle paralysis)
• Lies anterior to primary
motor cortex.
• Brodmann’s area 6.
• It includes the posterior
parts of superior, middle
& inferior frontal gyri.
• Function:
• Programming &
preparing for movement
and control of posture.
• It receives its afferent
from ventral anterior
nucleus of thalamus.
PREMOTOR CORTEX
6
• On the medial surface of
the premotor cortex.
• The principle subcortical
input to premotor and
supplementary motor
cortex is the ventral
anterior nucleus of the
thalamus.
• This nucleus receives its
afferent from the globus
pallidus & substantia
nigra
SUPPLEMENTARY MOTOR
CORTEX
• It lies in posterior part
of the middle fontal
gyrus.
• It is corresponding to;
• Brodmann's area 8
• It controls conjugate
movement of the eye.
• Unilateral damage to
area 8 causes conjugate
deviation of the eyes to
the side of the lesion.
FRONTAL EYE FIELD
• In the inferior frontal gyrus
in the dominant (usually left)
hemisphere.
• Brodmann’s areas 44 & 45
• It has connections with
ipsilateral temporal, parietal,
occipital lobes that share in
language function.
• Lesion:
• (Left middle cerebral artery)
• Expressive or motor aphasia
(inability to express thought,
answer or writing inspite of
a normal comprehension)
MOTOR SPEECH AREA
BROCA’S AREA
• Lies anterior to
premotor area.
• It has rich connections
with parietal, temporal
and occipital cortex.
• Functions:
• Intellect.
• Judgment.
• Prediction.
• Motivation
• Planning of behaviour.
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
• In the postcentral gyrus &
posterior part of paracentral
lobule.
• It correspond to Brodmann’s
areas 1, 2 and 3).
• Here thalamocortical neurons
terminate (3rd order neuron).
• Input comes from ventral
posterior nucleus (VPN) of the
thalamus.
• Within the somatosensory
cortex the contralateral half of
body is represented upside
down.
PRIMARY SOMATOSENSORY
CORTEX
• VPN receives:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
1-Medial lemniscus
(Fine touch & proprioception).
2-Spinal lemniscus
(coarse touch & pressure).
3-Spiothalamic tract
(pain & temperature).
4- Trigeminothalamic tract
(general sensation from head)
• Lies in the superior bank of the
middle of the superior
temporal gyrus.
• Hidden within the lateral
fissure.
• Brodmann's 41, 42.
• Its precise location is marked
by small transverse temporal
gyri ( Heschl’s convolutions).
• Input to Primary auditory
cortex is from medial
geniculate nucleus (MGN) of
the thalamus.
• Auditory radiation undergoes
partial decussation in the brain
stem before it reaches the
(MGN).
PRIMARY AUDITORY
CORTEX
• Lies behind the primary
auditory cortex.
• Continuous posteriorly
with the second motor
speech (Wernicke’s)
area.
• Here the heard sounds or
words are interpreted.
• Lesion:
• Sensory aphasia;
(inability to recognize the
meaning of sounds or
words with hearing
unimpaired.
SECONDARY AUDITORY CORTEX
or
AUDITORY ASSOCIATION CORTEX
• Lies on medial surface of
the occipital lobe.
• In close relation to the
calcarine sulcus.
• It extends to the occipital
pole.
• Brodmann’s area 17
• It receives optic radiation
from lateral geniculate
nucleus (LGN) of the
thalamus.
• Each lateral half of the
visual field is represented in
the visual cortex of the
contralateral hemisphere.
• Lesion: Homonymous
hemianopia.
PRIMARY VISUAL CORTEX
• Brodmann’s areas
18,19 are called
visual association
cortex.
• They are
interpretive to the
visual image.
• Lesion: visual
agnosia, (inability
to recognize a
seen object).
VISUAL ASSOCCIATION
CORTEX
SECOND MOTOR SPEASCH AREA (Wernicke’s area)
• Also, known as language
area.
• Lies in dominant
hemisphere.
• Lies in the inferior parietal
lobule & auditory
association area.
• Lesion:
• Sensory or receptive
aphasia
• (Lack of comprehension of
words by vision or hearing)
