NEW NEUROSCIENCE CORTEX STUDY SET WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS!!
Primary Motor Cortex - (ANSWER)Occupies precentral gyrus of frontal lobe; directs voluntary
movements by controlling somatic motor neurons in brain stem and spinal cord.
Somatic Motor Association Area (Premotor Cortex) - (ANSWER)Coordinates learned movements; sends
instructions to the primary motor cortex; activates patterns of neurons; directs complex motor
commands.
Primary Sensory Cortex - (ANSWER)Occupies the postcentral gyrus of parietal lobe; receives somatic
sensory information from receptors for touch, pressure, vibration, pain, and temperature.
Visual Cortex - (ANSWER)Located in the occipital lobe.
Auditory Cortex - (ANSWER)Located in the temporal lobe.
Olfactory Cortex - (ANSWER)Located in the temporal lobe.
Gustatory Cortex - (ANSWER)Located in the insula and frontal lobe.
Sensory Association Areas - (ANSWER)Occupy regions adjacent to sensory areas; interpret the
information that arrives at the sensory area.
Somatic Sensory Association Area - (ANSWER)For touch recognition.
Visual Association Area - (ANSWER)For recognition of letters, symbols, written words, shapes, and faces.
Auditory Association Area - (ANSWER)For recognition of sounds, spoken words, and voices.
