Document Summary
The brain and language: overview of neuroscience concepts, brain regions involved in speech-language processing. Basic functional units: what is the smallest functional unit of the brain, neurons, neurons are the information bearing cell of the nervous system, types and sub-types of neurons exist but there are basic common cellular structures. Cerebellum: regulates balance and equillibrium, brain stem, another major division of brain, auditory and visual information, cranial nerve nuclei, regulates respiration, phonation, heartbeat, and blood pressure. Speech, language, hearing: primary auditory cortex, primary motor cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, bro(cid:272)a"s area, wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s area. Structures in the brain: sulcus (plural: sulci): depression or groove in cerebral cortex, gryus (plural: gyri): ridge on the cerebral cortex. Inferior frontal gyrus: superior temporal gyrus, blue: frontal lobe, yellow: parietal lobe, pink: occipital lobe, green: temporal lobe, central sulcus: separates the frontal and parietal lobes, lateral sulcus: divides the frontal and parietal lobes, from the temporal lobe.
