KROK 1 2011 – Question 140 · KROK (Medicine) · Human Anatomy
After a craniocerebral trauma a patient lost the ability to execute learned purposeful movements (apraxia). The injury is most likely localized in the following region of the cerebral cortex:
- A. Gyrus parahippocampalis
- B. Gyrus angularis
- C. Gyrus lingualis
- D. Gyrus supramarginalis
- E. Gyrus paracentralis
Hint
Learned purposeful movement is organised by association cortex rather than primary cortex; also consider the dominant hemisphere.
