|
Gerstmann's syndrome
|
Syndrome of dominant angular gyrus with left, right disorientation, finger agnosia, , acalculia, agraphia
|
|
Anton's syndrome
|
Damage to bilateralmedial occipital lobes and get cortical blindness and pt denies deficits, confabulates
|
|
Describe perforant pathway of hippocampus
|
Entorhinal ctx-> dentate gyrus (granule cells-mossy fibers)-> CA3 (pyramidal cells)-> CA1 (via Schaffer collateral pathway) _> subiculum
-> feedback to entorhinal ctx -> fornix -> mamillary bodies/septal region/hypothal |
|
Balint's syndrom
|
Bilateral damage to occipito-temporal lobes lead ing to optic ataxia, ocular apraxia, and asimultagnosea
|
|

Inability to produce an internal image of an object
|
|

|
Animal naming (normal ~18-20)

|
What is the localization of Broca's aphasia
|
Posterior/inferior frontal lobe, area 44/45
|
|
What is the localization of Wernicke's aphasia
|
Posterior superior temporal lobe (area 22)
|
|
What is alexia without agraphia and where does it localize?
|
It is the inability to read with preserved writing ability. It localizes to the left medial occipital lobe and splenium of the corpus callosum.
|
|
Whati s alexia with agraphia and where does it localize?
|
Inability to read or write. Localizes to inferior parietal lobe. Can be associated with Gewrstman's
|
|
Where does pure agraphia localize to?
|
Posterior frontal/superior parietal
|
|
Distinguish aperceptive from associative visual agnosia
|
Aperceptive can't even perceive it so can't copy an object
Associative can copy it but can't recognize it |
|
What is propagnosia and where does it localize?
|
Inability to recognize faces. Localizes to right or bilateral medial occipitotemporal lobes. Can also get achromotopsia from this
|
|
Whati s color agnosia and where does it localize?
|
Cannot name colors or pick the correct one when prompted. Can still see color from Ischhara plates and not color blind. Localizes to dominant occipital lobe.
