Damage - expressive aphasia2.) Temporal �a. Hearingb. Short term memoryc. Wernickes
area � generates interpretative or knowing diagnostic areaDamage � receptive
aphasia3.) Parietal lobe � appreciation & discrimation of sensory imp- Pain, touch,
pressure, heat & cold4.) Occipital - vision5.) Insula/island of reil/ Central lobe-
controls visceral functionFunction: - activities of internal organ6.)
Rhinencephalon/ Limbic- Smell, libido, long-term memory
Basal Ganglia
� areas of gray matter located deep within a cerebral hemisphere.
?
Extra pyramidal tract
?
Releases dopamine-
?
Controls gross voluntary unitDecrease dopamine: (Parkinson�s) pill rolling of
extremities & Huntington�s Dse.Decrease acetylcholine:Myasthenia Gravis &
Alzheimer�sIncreased neurotransmitter = psychiatric disorders: Increase dopamine �
schizoIncrease acetylcholine � bipolar
MID BRAIN
� relay station for sight & hearingControls size & reaction of pupil 2 � 3
mmControls hearing acuityControls CN 3 & 4
Isocoria
� normal size (equal)
Anisocoria
� uneven size � damage to mid brain
PERRLA
(Pupils Equally Rounded and Reactive to Light and Accomodation) � normal reaction
DIENCEPHALON-
between brain.Thalamus � acts as a relay station for sensationHypothalamus �
thermoregulating center of temp, sleep & wakefulness, thirst, appetite/ satiety
center,emotional responses, controls pituitary function.BRAIN STEM
: a.
Pons
� or pneumotaxic center � controls respiration.Controls the: Cranial 5 � 8 CNS
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
- controls heart rate, respiratory rate, swallowing, vomiting, hiccups/
singutusVasomotor center, spinaldecuissation termination.Controls CN 9, 10, 11, 12
CEREBELLUM
� lesser brain.- Controls posture, gait, balance, equilibriumCerebellar Tests:a.)
R � Romberg�s test- needs 2 RNs to assist- Normal anatomical position 5 � 10 min(+)
Romberg�s test � (+) ataxia or unsteady gait or drunken like movement with loss of
balance.b.) Finger to nose test �(+) To FTNT �
dymentria
� inability to stop a movement at a desired point.c.) Alternate pronation &
supinationPalm up & down. (+) To alternate pronation & supination or damage to
cerebellum �
dymentrium
Composition of brain - based on Monroe Kellie Hypothesis
o
Skull is a closed container. Any alteration in 1 of 3 intracranial components =
increase in ICPNormal ICP � 0 � 15 mmHgForamen MagnumC1 � atlasC2 � axis(+)
Projectile vomiting = increase ICPObserve for 24 - 48 hrsCSF � cushions the brain,
shock absorber Obstruction of flow of CSF = increase ICPHydrocephalus � posteriorly
due to closure of posterior fontanelCVA � partial/ total obstruction of blood
supply
INCREASED ICP
� increase ICP is due to increase in 1 of the Intra Cranial components.
