Pyramidal Cells large neurons in primary motor cortext
Premotor Cortext (6) 1. Located anterior to precentral gyrus 2. controls more complext movements 3. involved in PLANNING movements
Frontal Eye Field (8) 1. Located anterior to premotor cortext 2. controls eye movement-especially when lookin at target
Broca's (45) 1. Left Cerebral Hemisphere- manages speech production 2. Right Cerebral Hemisphere- adds emotion to spoken words
Primary Somatosensory Cortex (1) 1. Located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe 2. Contralateral- Receives sensory nerve signals from opposites side of body
Association Somatosensory Area (7) 1. Located posterior to Primary Somatsensory Cortex 2. touch feel, etc 3. uses memories of previous sensory inputs

General Interpretation 1. Posterior Association Area 2. Location: interface of visual, audiotry, and somatosensory association areas 3. integrates all theses senses to FORM UNIFIED PERCEPTION 4. Awareness of spatial location of body
Language Association Area 1. Left Cerebral Hemisphere surrounds lateral sulcus 2. Two main parts: -Brocha- Speech production -Wirnkie's area- speech comprehension
