is dominant ?!

of the left handed

? Righ hemisphere is dominant in

10% of righ handed and 20% of

left handed

? In the remaining 16% of left

handed both hemispheres are

? Speech areas in brain usual y in

the dominant hemisphere !! ( OF

CLINICAL IMPORTANT )
Brodmann areas

Motor areas of cortex

? 1- primary motor area :-

- MSI area ( precentral gyrus )

MSI

- MSI area ( Anterior part of

MSI

paracentral lobule )

? 2- secondary motor area

? Posterior parts of frontal

gyri extending medial y
Primary motor area
? Broadmann area 4

? The area Msl is where movements

of the various parts of the body

are initiated,

MSI

? Afferent :- receives its main inputs

MSI

from

the

cerebel um

and

thalamus.

? Efferent :- the corticonuclear and

corticospinal (pyramidal) tracts.

? MSI area receives many fibres

from the basal nuclei and is

concerned

with

postural

mechanisms, but this area is not

yet clearly understood.

Motor homunculus

? the body is represented upside

down along this cortex, although

the face itself is represented the

right way up.

? The face lies lowest, then the

hand (a very large area), then arm,

trunk and leg.

? The leg and perineum areas

overlap the superior border and

extend down on the medial

surface of the hemisphere

? Blood supply :-

? 1- middle cerebral artery

? 2- anterior cerebral a. ( leg area )
Primary motor area

? Lesions to this area produce

contralateral paralysis !!

? Organs that supplied bilateral y

are the less affected ...

? CNs are supplied bilateral y ?!!

Secondary motor area
? Or supplementary motor area
? Broadmann are 6
? Location :- Posterior parts of

frontal gyri extending medial y

? The function of the secondary

motor area:

activity

resulted

from

past

experience

? 2-

Controls

sequence

? 3- Controls spatial & postural

orientation movements.

? 4- Controls bimanual movements.
? Blood supply: Middle & anterior

cerebral arteries
secondary motor area
? Lesions :-

? Apraxia (inability to execute learned purposeful movements despite

having the desire and the physical capacity to perform them).

? There is no or little loss of strength

Boca's area

? The motor (anterior) speech area

(of Broca, areas 44 and 45) is

usual y situated in the inferior

frontal gyrus on the left side (in

right-handed and in most left-

handed people), below and in

front of the face area and centred

on the pars triangularis between

the anterior and ascending rami of

the lateral fissure.

? Damage to it produces motor

aphasia -- difficulty in finding the

right words, but not paralysis of

laryngeal musculature.

? Blood supply :-

? Middle cerebral a.
Wernicke's area

? The posterior speech area (of

Wernicke) is in the posterior parts of

the superior and middle temporal gyri

and extends into the lower part of the

parietal lobe.

- It is connected to the Broca's, visual &

auditory cortex

? Function:

? To understand the written and spoken

language

? Its integrity is necessary for the

understanding of speech.

? Lesion ... Receptive dysphasia; the

patient responds by intact, but

irrelevant speech!

? Blood supply:

? Middle cerebral artery

Prefrontal cortex
? The prefrontal cortex is an

extensive area that lies anterior to

the precentral

? The prefrontal area is concerned

with

1. the makeup of the individual's

personality.

2. regulator of the person's depth of

feeling.

3. It also exerts its influence in

determining the initiative and

judgment of an individual.
Prefrontal cortex

? Lesions :-

? It is now general y agreed that

destruction of the prefrontal

? region does not produce any

marked loss of intelligence

? Tumour or traumatic destruction

of the prefrontal cortex result in

the person's losing initiative and

judgment.

? Emotional changes that occur

include a tendency to euphoria.

? The patient no longer conforms to

the accepted mode of social

behavior and becomes careless of

dress and appearance.

? Bipolar disorders

? Schizophrenia

Sensory areas

- Recieves primary from thalamus
- Sensations from the oral region,

pharynx, larynx & perineum are

received bilateral y

? 2- Secondary ( or association )

somatosensory area.

- Occupies the superior parietal

lobule
Primary sensory area

? Sensory homunculus:
? The amount of the cortex for a

particular part of the bod is

related

to

its

functional

importance

&

number

of

receptors ( not to its size)

? Blood supply:
- Middle cerebral artery
- Anterior cerebral artery (leg area)

Primary sensory area

? Lesions :-

? Lesions

of

the

primary

somesthetic area of the cortex

result in contralateral sensory

disturbances, which are most

severe in the distal parts of the

limbs. Crude painful, tactile,and

thermal stimuli often return,but

this is believed to be due to the

function of the thalamus.

? The patient remains unable to

judge

? degrees of warmth, unable to

localize tactile stimuli accurately,

and unable to judge weights of

objects.

? Loss of muscle tone may also be a

symptom of lesions of the sensory

cortex.
Secondary somatosensory area
? Function:
- Receive different sensory

modalities & relate them to past

experience. e.g; object recognition

without vision.

- Lesions = asterognosis !!
- Inable to identify things without

see them ...

Primary visual cortex
? Broadmann area 17

? Functions:
- Receives fibers from the opposite

field of vision

- It also excludes & modulates

unwanted images!

? Blood supply:
- Posterior cerebral artery

? Lesions :-
? Crossed homonymous hemianopia
Secondary visual cortex

? Brodmann area 18,19

? Surrounded by the primary visual

cortex ...

? Functions to relate the visual

information to past experiences

? Lesions produce ... Visual agnosia;

loss of ability to recognize objects

seen in the opposite field of vision

WHY don't we see everything upside-down?
? -Brain makes images 'easier' to see by:
? 1- Combining the two images of the two eyes (in corpus cal osum).
? 2- Make images right-side-up (in the visual cortex).

? It does this because your brain is so USED to see things upside-down that

it eventual y adjusts to it (it's easier to flip the image than to try using

hands and legs with an upside-down world)

? For the first days, babies see everything upside-down!
Primary auditory area

? Broadmann area 41,42

? In the inferior wal of lateral sulcus

? Afferent: Principal y from the

medial geniculate body

? Blood supply:

- Middle cerebral artery

- Lesions

produce ...

Partial

deafness in both ears with

inability to locate sound.

- The greater loss being in the

opposite ear

- (cochlear nuclei send 2nd order to

the olivary nucleus & nuclei of

trapezoid body bilateral y)

Auditory pathway

? Explaning why greter loss of

inability to hear on the

opposite site !!!

? Cochlear n. send fibers more

to the other side than the

same side ...
Secondary auditory area
? Broadmann area 22
? Lies posterior to the primary

auditory area

? Function:
- To interpret sounds and associate

the auditory input with other

sensory information.

? Blood supply:
? Middle cerebral artery

? Lesions : auditory agnosia !!

The dominant angular gyrus

? This part is often considered a

part of the Wernicke area

? Lesion here results in inability to

read (alexia) or write (agraphia).
Aphasia

Sensory aphasia

Alexia

Agraphia

Motor aphasia

A lesion resulting in a nonfluent expressive

aphasia would most likely be found in the

(A) temporal lobe

(B) parietal lobe

(C) frontal lobe

(D) occipital lobe
Alexia without agraphia and aphasia would

most likely result from occlusion of the

(A) left anterior cerebral artery

(B) right anterior cerebral artery

(C) left middle cerebral artery

(D) left posterior cerebral artery

(E) right posterior cerebral artery

A patient is asked to bisect a horizontal line

through the middle, to draw the face of a clock,

and to copy a cross. The patient bisected the

horizontal line to the left of the midline,

placed all of the numerals of the clock on the

right side, and did not complete the cross on

the left side. The most likely lesion site for this

deficit is the

(A) left frontal lobe

(B) right parietal lobe

(C) left parietal lobe

(D) right temporal lobe

(E) left occipital lobe

Blood supply to Brain
Anterior cerebral artery

? leaves the internal carotid artery

and passes forwards above the

optic nerve

? It is connected to its fellow of the

opposite side by the anterior

communicating artery. It is

distributed to the orbital surface of

the frontal lobe and to the whole

of the medial surface of the

hemisphere above the corpus

cal osum as far back as the parieto-

occipital sulcus

Anterior cerebral artery

? The motor and sensory areas for the opposite leg, foot and perineum,

including the micturition and defecation centres, lie in its territory.

? Because of the anastomosis via the anterior communicating artery, it is

usual y possible for one anterior cerebral to be supplied with blood from

the contralateral internal carotid.
Anterior cerebral a. syndrome
1. Hemiparesis or hemiplegia contralateral y, involving primarily the lower

limbs and pelvic floor musculature

2. Sensory deficits contralateral y, involving primarily the leg and perineum
3. Apraxia (due to branches to the supplementary motor area and corpus

cal osum)

4. Disconnection syndrome (due to cal osal branches)
5. Anosmia (due to branches of the olfactory bulb and olfactory tract)
6. Urinary incontinence
7. Grasp reflex and or sucking reflex contralateral y (if circle of Wil is

compromised)

Middle cerebral artery
? The middle cerebral artery is

the largest and most direct

branch of the internal carotid

and therefore most subject to

embolism.

? It passes deep into the lateral

sulcus to supply the cortex of

the insula and overlying

opercula.

? It reaches the lateral surface of

the hemisphere
Middle cerebral artery

? by continuing in the lateral

sulcus, from which its branches

emerge and ramify over an area

that fal s short of the borders of

the lateral surface by one gyrus

or its equivalent breadth.

?
? In its area of cortical

distribution lie the motor and

sensory areas for the opposite

half of the body, excluding leg,

foot and perineum (which are in

anterior cerebral territory), and

the auditory and speech areas.

Middle cerebral a. syndrome
1. Hemiparesis or hemiplegia of the lower half of the contralateral face
2. Hemiparesis or hemiplegia of the contralateral upper and lower

extremities

3. Sensory loss of the contralateral face, arm and leg
4. Ataxia of contralateral extremities
5. Speech impairments/aphasia: Broca's area, Wernicke's or Global aphasia

as a result of a dominant hemisphere lesion (usual y the left brain)

6. Perceptual deficits: hemispatial neglect, anosognosia, apraxia, and

spatial disorganization as a result of a non-dominant hemisphere lesion

(usual y the right brain)

7. Visual disorders: d?viation conjugu?e, a gaze preference towards the side

of the lesion; contralateral homonymous hemianopsia

Note: *faciobrachial deficits greater than that of the lower limb
Posterior cerebral artery
? The posterior cerebral artery

curls back around the cerebral

peduncle supplying it and the

optic tract, and passes back

above the tentorium to supply

the inferomedial surface of the

temporal and occipital lobes

? Its territory meets that of the

anterior cerebral artery at the

parieto-occipital sulcus.

Its

branches extend around the

borders of the brain to supply

the inferior temporal gyrus and

a corresponding strip of cortex

on the lateral surface of the

occipital lobe. .

Posterior cerebral artery

? The visual area for the

opposite field of vision lies

whol y within its territory,

but the middle cerebral

branches can sometimes

extend sufficiently far back

on the occipital lobe to

supply the macular part of

the visual area .

? Thus the macular field of

vision may be spared when

the rest of the visual area is

destroyed by a posterior

cerebral thrombosis.
Posterior cerebral a. syndrome
1. Visual disorder : Contralateral homonymous hemianopsia & cortical

blindness with bilateral involvement of the occipital lobe branches

2. visual agnosia
3. dyslexia, Anomic aphasia, color naming and discrimination problems
4. memory defect
5. involuntary movements: chorea, intention tremor, hemibal ismus
6. contralateral hemiplegia
7. Weber's syndrome: occulomotor nerve palsy
8. B?lint's syndrome: loss of voluntary eye movements optic ataxia,

asimultagnosia (inability to understand visual objects).

Circle of wil is
