What is the most important area of the left brain?
The somatosensory cortex
Which area of the brain is responsible for spatial discrimination?
The Primary somatosensory cortex
What is cortical magnification factor?
The apportioning of proportionally more space on the cortex to the representation of specific areas of sensory receptors. For example, a small area on the retina in or near the fovea receives more space on the cortex than the same area of peripheral retina. Smilarly, the fingertips receive more space on the somatosensory cortex than the forearm or leg.
Enumerate the brodman's area of the brain and specify their function?
Brodmann's areas are specific regions of the cerebral cortex. Some areas and their functions include: Area 4 (primary motor cortex) for voluntary movement, Area 17 (primary visual cortex) for visual perception, Area 41 and 42 (primary auditory cortex) for auditory processing, and Area 44 and 45 in the left hemisphere (Broca's area) for speech production.
What cortext affects sensation?
The somatosensory cortex is a major area in the brain responsible for processing sensations related to touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. It is located in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex and plays a critical role in making sense of input from sensory receptors throughout the body.
Interpretation of sensory impulses from the skin by the cerebrum occurs in the?
somatosensory cortex, which is located in the parietal lobe of the cerebrum. This area is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information from the skin, such as touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
The primary somatosensory area and primary motor area are separated by?
central sulcus
The primary somatosensory area and the primary motor area are separated by?
the central sulcus
What is the area of the brain that allows us to have spatial discrimination?
Primary Somatosensory
What are brodman areas?
The brodmann area is a part of the cerebral cortex of the human brain. These areas are responsible for motor cortex, visual cortex, and auditory cortex.
Which lobe is the somatosensory area located?
Parietal lobe
What represent the motor areas of the cortex?
Primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, Broca's area and frontal eye field
