The Cerebrum
• Is the largest part of the brain
• Controls all conscious thoughts and
intellectual functions
• Processes somatic and visceral
sensory and motor information
2
Functional Principles of the
Cerebrum
• Each cerebral hemisphere receives sensory
information from, and sends motor commands to, the
opposite side of the body
• Although similar in structure, the 2 hemispheres have
different functions (e.g., language on left, face
recognition on right)
• Specific regions of the cerebral cortex have specific
functions, but there is overlap in function
• Primary motor and sensory areas are organized into
topographic maps representing specific body
regions
3
Hemispheric
Lateralization
• “brain sided-ness” does not always
correspond to “handed-ness”
• Right side - “Creative”:
- Musical and artistic awareness
- Spatial and pattern perception
- Face recognition
- Emotional part of speech
• Left side - “Analytical”:
- Spoken and written language
- Numerical and scientific skills
- Reasoning

The Corpus Callosum is made of the axons (white
matter) of cortical neurons communicating between the
left and right cerebral hemispheres

Everyone has the same pattern of gyri
and sulci on their cerebral cortex
Different gyri deal with different types of
information
Sulcus
shallow depression
(plural: sulci)
Gyrus
elevated ridge
(plural: gyri)

Different areas of the cortex perform
different functions
“Primary” areas : neurons receive sensory information
or directly send out motor instructions
“Association” areas : neurons make sense of sensory information
or plan motor activities (muscle movements)

Frontal Lobe:
Motor and Limbic Functions
Premotor Cortex
Primary
Motor Cortex
Prefrontal
Cortex
Broca’s Area
Motor speech
Central sulcus
Separates frontal and parietal lobes

Frontal Lobe:
Primary Motor Cortex
• Primary Motor Cortex = Precental gyrus
- Directs voluntary muscle movement
- Contains a map of all skeletal muscles
- Pyramidal neurons in this gyrus project via the internal
capsule to synapse in the brainstem or spinal cord;
they talk to the neurons that contact the muscles
13
(they do NOT directly synapse on the muscles!!)
The internal capsule contains Pyramidal neuron axons
leaving the cortex (motor info) AND the axons of
neurons bringing sensory info into the cortex

Capsule

Neurons in the primary motor cortex are arranged
according to the muscles they control
15
Frontal Lobe:
Premotor Cortex
16
Frontal Lobe:
Premotor
Cortex
* learned motor activities
planning of motor activities
• Directs neurons in the primary motor cortex; therefore,
less discrete topographic map
• Contains two specialized regions:
- Frontal eye fields
- Broca’s speech area
17
Frontal Lobe:
Frontal Eye Fields
The purpose of this region is to keep the eyes directed forward.
The right frontal eye field forces both eyes to the left while the left
frontal eye field forces both eyes to the right. In a unilateral lesion,
both eyes will deviate TOWARDS the side of the lesion.
18
Frontal Lobe:
Broca’s Speech Area
Broca's Aphasia
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2IiMEbMnPM&feature=related
• Primarily located in left hemisphere - produces speech
•
Expressive (motor, non-fluent) aphasia
- anomia (inability to name objects)
• Patient aware of deficit
19
Frontal Lobe:
Prefrontal Cortex
20
Frontal Lobe:
Prefrontal Cortex
• Largest part of the frontal lobe
• Many connections to other areas
• Vague limbic functions (e.g., personality)

Parietal Lobe: Somatosensation
(the sense of touch, awareness of body)
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
Somatosensory
Association Cortex
23
Parietal Lobe:
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
Central sulcus
24

Parietal Lobe:
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
• Primary Somatosensory Cortex = Postcental gyrus
• Receives somatic sensory information from skin
receptors, joints and muscles:
– Touch, pressure, vibration
– Pain and temperature
– Taste
25
Neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex
are arranged according to the body region they
receive information from
26
The maps in the primary motor and somatosensory
cortices are the same,
just the amount of cortex devoted differs!
27
Parietal Lobe:
Somatosensory Association
Cortex
28
Parietal Lobe :
Somatosensory Association Cortex
• Interpretation of sensations
– Shape and texture of object
– Orientation of object (where an object is in space)
– Relationship of body parts
stroke to right parietal association cortex results in a fascinating
syndrome in which the patient disregards the left side of their
body = syndrome of hemineglect

Primary
Auditory
Cortex
Wernicke’s

Lateral fissure
33
Area
Separates frontal, parietal & temporal lobes
Temporal Lobe
34
Temporal Lobe:
Primary Auditory Cortex
• Primary Auditory Cortex
– Receives sound information, sorts by frequency
(tonotopic map)
– Pitch, rhythm

35
Temporal Lobe:
Wernicke’s
Speech Area
Wernicke’s Area
• Primarily located in left hemisphere
• Speech comprehension
• Receptive (sensory, fluent) aphasia
- language comprehension affected
- nonsensical speech, but patient unaware of deficit
- anomia, impaired repetition, non-fluent reading
- apraxia (inability to execute motor activity based
on verbal command)
