Physiological functions of Cerebral cortex
|
|
|
- Centre for voluntary movements-exerted by primary motor cortex Viz. Excitomotor cortex and is also responsible for highly skilled movements.
-
Centre for quick and phasic movements
-
Centre for postural maintenance-exerted by supplementary motor area
-
Centre for stretch and postural maintenance
-
-
Centre for complex co-ordinated movements
-
Frontal eye field of cerebral cortex is concerned with eye movement, pupillary dilatation and tear secretion
-
Centre for reflex vocalization
-
Centre for learning, memory processing and memory storage-compares past experiances and interprets the present experience
-
Centre for mood, emotions and behaviour-like socializing
-
Centre to receive specific sensations-crude sensations have sub cortical destination(except pain and crude temperature perceptions at thalamus level itself) finer sensations of touch temperature joint and vibratory senses are relayed to cortex
-
Centre for discriminative ability
-
Centre for spatial recognition
-
Centre for tactile discrimination and localization
-
Centre to compare and recognise relative intensity of different stimuli
-
Centre to recognise similarity and differences stereognosis
-
Centre for gustation-lower end of somestheti c cortex, lie next to motor cortex governing muscles of mastication
-
Centre for visual senses and visuo-psychic sensations
-
Centre for auditory senses and audito-psychic sensations
-
Centre for olfactory sensations
