(a) Make a rough drawing of the lateral aspect of the left cerebral hemisphere. (b) You may be thinking, “But I just can’t draw!” So, name the hemisphere involved with most people’s ability to draw. (c) On your drawing, locate the following areas and provide the major function of each: primary motor cortex, premotor cortex, somatosensory association cortex, primary somatosensory cortex, visual and auditory areas, prefrontal cortex, Wernicke’sand Broca’s areas.
The ____ and ____ are both found deep within fissures of the cerebral cortex. These two regions form a network with the amygdala and hypothalamus. Although they are also involved in other important functions, many modern imaging studies show that they activate simultaneously during the conscious experience of emotional feelings.
A) anterior cingulate cortex; anterior insular cortex
B) thalamus; hippocampus
C) caudate nucleus; globus pallidus
D) substancia nigra; ventra tegmental area
Which part of the cerebral cortex contains the primary somatosensory cortex?
a) post central gyrus
b) prefrontal cortex
c) occipital love
