Primary Motor Cortex Location- Brodmann area 4 ~ Posterior portion of frontal lobe Function- Plans/executes movements and initiates motor movements ~ coordination and movement Damage- speech impairments, distortions of body image, and motor learning deficits Disorders- autism and schizophrenia Facts- *Receives thalamic input from nuclei *Contains large neurons called betz *Areas respond to specific body parts

Visual Cortex Also known as Cerebral Cortex (Brodmann area 17, 18, 19) Location- Occipital Lobe Function- Processing visual information Damage- Blindness if outer core is damaged Disorders- Critical Visual Impairment Facts- Also known as V 1, striate cortex * Both hemispheres contain visual cortex * Info goes from right to left and vise versa

Somatosensory Cortex Also known as Post central Gyrus Location- Area at front of parietal lobe parallel to the motor cortex Function- Receives tactile information from body Damage- Cant perceive touch, cant recognize objects, cant recognize own body, phantom limb pain, hemispherical neglect Disorders- Sensory dysfunction Facts- Info through brain>spinal Cord>brain stem> thalamus
