Frontal Lobe Processing
- Primary Motor Cortex
- Posterior portion of frontal lobe
- represent each body part
- generates neural impulses to initiate movement
- Premotor cortex
- mirror neurones - empathy
- online coordination of movements for the primary motor cortex
- Imitation
- Lateral integrates sensory environmental information to guide body movement (object based actions)
- Medial deals with overlearnt actions and sequences
- Prefrontal cortex
- Executive function
- ventrolateral prefrontal cortex - dealing with abrupt onsets of change in the environment
- dorsolateral prefrontal cortex - working memory, cognitive flexibility and planning, decision making
- anterior prefrontal cortex - risk taking and higher cognitive processes
- orbital prefrontal cortex - planning, reasoning and decision making
- Personality, decision making, moderating social behaviour
- selecting and maintaining actions according to
goals
- Orchestration of thoughts and actions
- damage results in poor concentration, orientation, abstracting ability, judgement and problem
solving
- Action schema- programmed muscle movements which have specific goals - overlearnt
- Script - a series of schemas i.e driving
- object based actions - schemas and scripts based on frequently used items
- sensorimotor transformation - sensory stimuli are converted into motor commands
- perseveration
- utilisation behaviour - using an object appropriately at an incorrect time "grabbing" e.g. seeing a bottle that isn't theirs and drinking from
it
- Supervisory attentional system - does what it says on the tin!
- contention scheduling - ensures the correct schema is activated
- optic ataxia - difficulty making movements in
space
- occurs from damage to dorsal optic route
- ventral optic route - occipital to temporal route (perceptual)
- dorsal optic route - occipital to parietal (object in space)
- Ekmans 6 basic emotions
- disgust, happy, sad, fear, anger, surprise
- amygdala
- arousal and autonomic responses associated with fear, anger and pleasure
- Insula
- disgust witnessing something foul
- basal ganglia
- emotional prosody in speech
- procedural learning and voluntary movements
- Supplementary motor cortex
- complex movements
- Model of action
- Frontal apraxia - "motor agnosia"
- significant help needed with activities of daily living
- tempero-parietal junction
- false belief
