I’m also curious if her seizures are in her temporal lobe or extending down into the amygdala and limbic structures like he had.

What divides the parietal from the frontal lobe? The parietal from the temporal lobe? Convoluted cerebrum allows more neurons to occupy the limited space ridges are called gyri shallow grooves are called sulci and deeper grooves are called fissures

Abnormal activity in temporal lobes is usually due to past head trauma‚ infections‚ lack of oxygen‚ exposure to toxins‚ or can be inherited. SPECT findings‚ decreased activity in the temporal lobes‚ and at times excessive increased activity.

Tutorial: The Brain The brain was a mystery for a very long time. Modern imaging has allowed us to study the brain and locate where important functions are occurring. Please remember that the functions do not happen in just one area of the brain. Many neural layers and areas are found in any one activity that happens. But what we do know though is that some areas do appear to be predominantly involved in certain functions. We will learn about the brain in the three-part model. We’ll first look at
