Brain Cortex

The outer layer of the forebrain, which contains billions of neurons, and is separated into lobes with specific functions, is called?

• Grey matter

• Cerebral cortex

• Cerebullum

• Cerebrum

Contralateral Organisation refers to:

• Each lobe of the brain being responsible for movement and sensation in the opposite side of the body.

• Each hemisphere (left or right) of the brain being responsible for movement and sensation in the opposite side of the body.

• Each section of the brain being responsible for movement and sensation in the opposite side of the body.

• Each hemisphere (left or right) being responsible for cognitive input in the opposite side of the body.

Which of the following refers to the different, and specific functions, performed by the two sides of the brain?

• Lobe specialisation

• Midbrain specialisation.

• Hemispheric specialisation

• Forebrain specialisation.

The left hemisphere is responsible for?

• Verbal tasks, such as emotional intelligence, tasks that have do with creativity, and the arts

• Non-verbal tasks, such as speech, and tasks that have to do with logic, science and mathematics.

• Non-verbal tasks, such as emotional intelligence, tasks that have do with creativity, and the arts

• Verbal tasks, such as speech, tasks that have to do with logic, science and mathematics.

What are the lobes of the brain called?

• Somatosensory and primary motor cortex

• Left and right hemisphere

• Frontal, Parietal, Temporal and Occipital

What part of the brain is in concerned with the perception of stimuli such as touch, pressure, temperature and pain?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

What part of the brain is concerned with the perception and recognition of auditory stimuli (hearing) and memory (hippocampus)?

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

What part of the brain is highlighted green?

• Frontal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Parietal

Each lobe has?

• Primary areas - specialised for a specific function (either motor or sensory).

  Secondary areas (higher order) - The association areas of the brain that analyse and interpret sensory impulses and function.

• Association areas - specialised for a specific function (either motor or sensory)
