Which of the brain regions is a major convergence area for nost sensory input before it is sent on to the cerebral cortex?
thalamus
What takes up most of the brain's space?
The cerebral cortex ----three major structures: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain
Which part of the brain controls thinging decision making and volutary actions?
The frontal lobe is one of the major sections of the cerebral cortex. It controls thinking, decision making, and all voluntary actions.
What protion of the brain assigns value to a memory?
The entire brain is connected together and the entire brain is important in memory and retrieval of memory. Memory is one of the major human mental activities. The Cortex is capable of storing and retrieving both short- and long-term memories. Temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes are among the areas responsible for short- and long-term memory. Engrams-structural traces in the cerebral cortex that comprise long-term memories and cerebrum's limbic system plays a key role in memory.
What are the three main parts of hair?
Three major parts of hair are Cuticle, Cortex, and Medulla.
Which of the brain regions is a major convergence area for nost sensory input before it is sent on to the cerebral cortex?
thalamus
What is the internal capsule?
The internal capsule is the major structure carrying ascending and descending nerve projection fibers to and from the cerebral cortex
What does the Superior temporal gyrus do?
The superior temporal gyrus contains the primary auditory cortex, which is responsible for processing sounds. Specific sound frequencies map precisely onto the primary auditory cortex. This auditory (or tonotopic) map is similar to the homunculus map of the primary motor cortex. Some areas of the superior temporal gyrus are specialized for processing combinations of frequencies, and other areas are specialized for processing changes in amplitude or frequency. The superior temporal gyrus also includes the Wernicke's area, which (in most people) is located in the left hemisphere. It is the major area involved in the comprehension of language. The superior temporal gyrus (STG) is involved in auditory processing, including language, but also has been implicated as a critical structure in social cognition.
What are the major parts of the subcortex?
Basal Ganglia, Limbic system, diencephalon, midbrain, hindbrain
What special senses is relayed directly to the cerebral cortex without going to the thalamus?
Its smell Information goes to olfactory cortex of the frontal lobe without going through the thalamus. Its the only major sense that does not go through the thalamus
What is the major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex?
The thalamus encloses the shallow third ventricle of the brain, and is the relay station for sensory impulses passing upwards to the sensory cortex.
What does entelencephalon mean?
The entelencephalon does not exist. The telencephalon consists of the cerebral cortex (the major part of the brain), basal ganglia, corpus stratum and olfactory bulb (smell). Quoted: "The anterior portion of the prosencephalon, constituting the cerebral hemispheres and composing with the diencephalon the prosencephalon. Also called endbrain ."
What part of the brain controls math?
The frontal Lobes. It is one of the four major divisions of the cerebral cortex. This part of the brain regulates decision making, problem solving and controls of purposeful behaviour, consciousness and emotion.
What takes up most of the brain's space?
The cerebral cortex ----three major structures: the forebrain, the midbrain, and the hindbrain
What is a hippocamus?
The Hippocampus is found in the brain. It is part of the Cerebral Cortex. It is a major component of the brains of humans and other vertebrates. It belongs to the limbic system and plays important roles in the consolidation of information from short-term memory to long-term memory and spatial navigation.
How does the parietal work?
The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes, regions of the cerebral cortex. This particular lobe works to process sensory information for other parts of the brain, and at its core works via the same electrical pulses the rest of the brain uses to function.
Which part of the brain controls thinging decision making and volutary actions?
The frontal lobe is one of the major sections of the cerebral cortex. It controls thinking, decision making, and all voluntary actions.
