4. I. INTRODUCTION

5. Neurolinguistics is: **
The study of the neuroanatomy, physiology, and biochemistry of language
We will examine the main structures of the central nervous system that are involved in language processing

6. II. COMPONENTS OF THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
A. Neurons

7. B. Central Nervous System

8. C. Peripheral Nervous System

9. III. CEREBELLUM (part of CNS)

10. The cerebellum helps monitor:

11. IV. CEREBRUM

12. The prefrontal cortex is very important for:

13. V. LOBES OF THE BRAIN** FPOT
The brain has 4 lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal
FPOT

14. The frontal lobe’s main function:

15. The parietal lobe’s main function:

16. The occipital lobe’s main function:

17. The temporal lobe’s main function:

18. VI. BRAIN FUNCTIONS: LEFT AND RIGHT HEMISPHERES**
The left and right hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum
Special functions are usually lateralized toward one hemisphere

19. Other views of the corpus callosum:

21. A. Right Hemisphere—Dominant for:

22. A child with right hemisphere damage would have trouble understanding why this was funny

23. B. Left Hemisphere—Dominant for:

24. VII. LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION

25. Heschl’s gyrus and surrounding areas…

26. Linguistic input is further separated….

27. Right brain—paralinguistic input Left brain—linguistic input

28. VIII. LANGUAGE PRODUCTION

29. Youtube video: Grace stroke survivor Broca’s
Notice how she struggles and it is an effort to talk
She leaves out small “function words”

30. Youtube video Wernicke’s fluent aphasia
Notice how “empty” his speech is
If you were across a crowded room and couldn’t hear him, you’d probably never know anything was wrong

31. IX. WORKING MEMORY (WM)

32. Working memory is essential in:

33. Working memory is absolutely crucial to success in school**
