Question
Chapter 9.5, Problem 19CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The anatomical location in the brain where neurons from one side of the body cross the opposite side.
Introduction: Inside the body, the information is transferred from one part to another by a system known as nervous system. The body parts communicate with each other and with the external environment through the nervous system.

Name this part of the brain.
Which of the following statements about the cerebral cortex is FALSE?
A) The cortex in primates (and especially humans) has more sulci and gyri than in lower mammals.
B) The neurons in the cortex are organized into groups of 80 to 100 interconnected cells, arranged in vertical columns.
C) The human cortex is arranged into six layers of neurons (although a particular layer may be absent in some areas).
D) The cerebral hemispheres are organized into five lobes, named after the skull bone covering them.
In PET scans, red areas are brain regions that are most active, while blue, yellow, and green areas are least active. Figure 13.24 shows PET scans of normal brain activity (left) and (right) of the brain of a person while using cocaine. The frontal lobes of the brain hemispheres are toward the top of the scans. Their neurons play major roles in reasoning and other intellectual functions. Looking at these scan images, how do you suppose cocaine may affect mental functioning?
