Functional Areas of Cerebrum

The average human brain weighs about 1,400 grams (3 lb)
The average human brain weighs about 1,400 grams (3 lb). When the brain is removed from the skull, it looks a bit like a large pinkish-gray walnut. The two really large and deep ones are usually called fissures (but one of these, the Sylvain fissure, is sometimes called the lateral sulcus). These two fissures plus the Central Sulcus divide the cortex into its main divisions. HUMAN BRAIN
5
The most prominent is the Interhemispheric Fissure, which divides the cerebral cortex into two hemispheres, right and left. Each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex is divided into four lobes by various sulci and gyri. The sulci (or fissures) are the grooves and the gyri are the "bumps" that can be seen on the surface of the brain.
7
The folding of the cerebral cortex produced by these bumps and grooves increases the amount of cerebral cortex that can fit in the skull. (In fact, the total surface area of the cerebral cortex is about 324 square inches - about the size of a full page of newspaper!). Although most people have the same patterns of gyri and sulci on the cerebral cortex, no two brains are exactly alike.

23
AREA 6 6
24
Situation:- Posterior parts of superior , middle & inferior frontal gyri.
Functions:- 1.Frontal Adversive Field :- Stimulation causes movements of eye, head & body towards the opposite side. 2.Extra-pyramidal Activity :- Controls the movements of eyeballs & complex movements of body & limbs. Also responsible for tone , posture & equilibrium.
25

26
AREA 8 8
27
Situation:- Posterior part of middle frontal gyrus. Function:-
Controls the horizontal conjugate movements of eye balls to the opposite side, opening & closing of the eye-lids & sometimes dilatation of pupils & lacrimation. Effect of Lesion :- i. Lesion of this area turns the eyes to the affected side. ii.Horizontal conjugate movements of eyes are lost.
28
AREA 44 & 45 BROCA'S AREA 44 45 45
29
Situation :- Pars Triangularis & Pars Opercularis. Functions :-
I.Controls the Spoken Speech. II.Responsible for movements of tongue ,lips & larynx which are involved in speech. Effect of lesion :- Lesion in Broca’s area leads to Aphasia.
30
PREFRONTAL CORTEX AREA 9 ,10 ,11 & 12
31
Situation :- Anterior part of frontal lobe. Function:-
1.Seat of intelligence. It is unresponsive to electrical stimulation. Hence called Silent Area. 2.It controls emotion , concentration , attention & judgement 3.It helps in complex intellectual activities , e.g.working-out mathematical problems, giving judgement , etc.
32
Effect of Lesion:- i.The injury of pre-frontal cortex lead to a condition called frontal lobe syndrome. The features of this syndrome are :- i. Emotional instability :- There is lack of restraint leading to hostility, aggressiveness & restlessness . ii.There is alteration in behavior. iii.Impairment of memory, loss of learning power. iv. Lack of Self control.
33
vi.Fright of irregular linkless ideas.
v.Distractibility (Difficulty of attention) vi.Fright of irregular linkless ideas. vii.Loss of memory,especially for the recent events. viii.Alteration in the social behavior,loss of moral & social sense. Owing to this functions , the prefrontal region is called the organ of mind.

Situation:- Postcentral gyrus & paracentral lobule.
Representation of the body parts:-The centers for the different parts of the body are arranged upside-down. Functions:- 1. Appreciation of general senses such as touch ,pain ,heat ,cold & kinaesthetic from the opposite side of the body. 2. Appreciation of size, shape, texture ,weight of the objects - Stereognosis.
39
3. Appreciation of the relative intensity of the different stimuli.
4. Tactile localisation ,Tactile discrimination of two points, Recognition of position & passive movements of limbs - Spatial Recognition Effect of Lesion:- Lesion of this area results in disturbances of these faculties. Loss of appreciation of the impulse received. There will be Astereognosis. Loss of spatial recognition & appreciation of relative intensity of different stimuli.
