Term
Dorsal or Ventral stream? Flows from the auditory cortex through the parietal area, where the brain determines the spatial location of a sound source. The information then proceeds to the frontal lobes, where it can beused for directing eye movements toward sound sources and for planning movements. AKA "WHERE"
Definition
Dorsal stream
Term
Dorsal or Ventral stream? Passes from the temporal to the frontal lobes. Active when the individual is distinguishing among sounds. AKA "WHAT"
Definition
Ventral stream
Term
What type of neurological deficit would one expect with a person that suffered a large stroke involving the right posterior parietal lobe?
Definition
Neglect
Term
Receptor cells > Bipolar Cells > Ganglion Cells > ? > Primary Visual Cortex
Definition
LGN--- Lateral Geniculate Nucleus of the Thalamus
Term
What layer of the cortex receives fibers originating from the thalamus?
Definition

Definition
basal end
Term
Basel end or apex end? Processes lower frequencies
Definition

Term
Auditory neurons for part of what cranial nerve?
Definition
8th CN
Term
What auditory theory? Assumes that the auditory mechanism transmits the actual sound frequencies to the auditory cortex for analysis there.
Definition
Frequency Theory
Term
What auditory theory? Individual neurons in the auditory nerve fire at the same frequency as the rate of vibration of the sound source.
Definition
Telephone Theory
Term
What auditory theory? Groups of neurons follow the frequency of a sound at higher frequencies.
Definition
Volley Theory
Term
What auditory theory? The frequency of a sound is identified according to the location of maximal vibration on the basilar membrane and, therefore, which neurons are firing most.
Definition
Place theory
