  2. Angular gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_gyrus

    The angular gyrus is the part of the brain associated with complex language functions (i.e. reading, writing and interpretation of what is written). Lesion to this part of the brain shows symptoms of the Gerstmann syndrome : effects include finger agnosia, alexia (inability to read), acalculia (inability to use arithmetic operations), agraphia ...

  3. Language center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_center

    The angular gyrus is represented in orange, the supramarginal gyrus is represented in yellow, Broca's area in blue, Wernicke's area in green, and the primary auditory cortex in pink. In neuroscience and psychology , the term language center refers collectively to the areas of the brain which serve a particular function for speech processing and ...

  4. Brodmann area 39 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_39

    BA39 encompasses the angular gyrus, lying near to the junction of temporal, occipital and parietal lobes. This area is also known as angular area 39 (H). It corresponds to the angular gyrus surrounding the caudal tip of the superior temporal sulcus. It is bounded dorsally approximately by the intraparietal sulcus.

  5. Biology of romantic love - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biology_of_romantic_love

    However, the love prime evoked more activation in bilateral angular gyri and bilateral fusiform regions than the hobby prime. These regions are associated with integrating abstract representations, and the angular gyrus in particular is involved with abstract representations of the self. The authors also found a correlation (r=0.496, p=0.002 ...

  6. Reading comprehension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_comprehension

    In general, neuroimaging studies have found that reading involves three overlapping neural systems: networks active in visual, orthography-phonology (angular gyrus), and semantic functions (anterior temporal lobe with Broca's and Wernicke's areas). However, these neural networks are not discrete, meaning these areas have several other functions ...

  7. Fusiform gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusiform_gyrus

    The angular gyrus is involved in higher processing of colors. [11] The fibers relay shape information from the fusiform gyrus to the angular gyrus in order to produce the association of colors and shapes in grapheme-color synesthesia. [11] Cross-activation between the angular and fusiform gyri has been observed in the average brain, implying ...

  8. Angular mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_mechanics

    A diagram of angular momentum. Showing angular velocity (Scalar) and radius. In physics, angular mechanics is a field of mechanics which studies rotational movement. It studies things such as angular momentum, angular velocity, and torque. It also studies more advanced things such as Coriolis force [1] and Angular aerodynamics.

  9. Transverse temporal gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_temporal_gyrus

    The transverse temporal gyrus, also called Heschl's gyrus (/ ˈ h ɛ ʃ əl z ˈ dʒ aɪ r aɪ /) or Heschl's convolutions, is a gyrus found in the area of each primary auditory cortex buried within the lateral sulcus of the human brain, occupying Brodmann areas 41 and 42.
