What task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage inWhat task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage in?
This part of the brain processes information from the skin (touch, temperature and pain).
3 types of stimuli?
gravity, touch, and light
What part of brain controls pupil dilation?
Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the brainstem controls the pupil reflex. An ER doctor who looks at the response to a pen light is checking on brain stem activity.
Which part of a sheeps brain is the biggest?
The biggest part of the sheep's brain is the Cerebrum.
What part of the brain controls wakefulness?
hypothalamus - a region in the upper part of the brainstem that acts as a relay to the pituitary gland - it controls body temperature, circadian cycles, sleep, moods, hormonal body processes, hunger, and thirst. The hypothalamus is part of the limbic system and works with the pituitary gland.
Where do the process of most stimuli occur?
In the human brain Êthere is a section called the amygdala, this is the part of the brain that processes most incoming stimuli and this is the part of the brainÊwhere habits are formed.
What part of the brain processes visual information?
The visual cortex processes visual information in the brain. This part is present in occipital lobe.
What the main part of the brain that processes thought?
The cerebrum processes thought.
What part of the brain receives sensory stimuli and passes along the information to the other parts of the brain?
The thalamus
What part of the brain functions to filter out unimportant stimuli?
thalamus reticular activating system
What part of the brain is damaged if someone can't remember names?
The Temporal Lobe is the part of the brain that is associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech
Where in the brain is intelligence?

Why is there a front and back on a brain?
The back part of the brain processes our raw senses. The back part of the brain takes these raw senses and performs association and analysis.
What part of the nervous system is encased in bone and processes information?
The brain.
What part of the brain plays a role in memory processes and regulating emotion?
The adratic coretect.
What part of the brain receives messages?
ThalamusIf you are referring to outside stimulus that are sensory messages, all stimuli, except smell, go to the thalamus in the brain which is then relayed to the cerebral cortex.
What is the area of mid brain responsible for consciousness and awake sleep cycle?
The reticular formation is a part of the brain that is involved in actions such as awaking/sleeping cycle, and filtering incoming stimuli to discriminate irrelevant background stimuli. It is essential for governing some of the basic functions of higher organisms, and is one of the phylogenetically oldest portions of the brain.
