To help reinforce some of the concepts for this learning pathway, we have developed a matching exercise. The following Application: Neuropsychology exercise includes a number of descriptions of patients with brain damage and their resulting cognitive deficits. Based on these descriptions and your understanding of functional neuroanatomy, try to match the specific patient descriptions with the patient’s most likely area of brain damage.
You might find the 3D brain model from BrainFacts.org helpful for this task. Brainfacts.org is a public information initiative and a joint collaboration between the Kavli Foundation, the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, and the Society for Neuroscience, and is sponsored in part by the Wellcome Trust. All of these are trusted sources for science and research.
