Receive sensory input from the environment.
Process information and make decisions.
Store memories and learned behaviors.
Carry signals from the CNS to muscles and glands.
Term 2 of 20
What does Geschwind's territory do?
Regulates emotional responses to language.
Connects Broca's and Wernicke's areas to help understand language meaning.

What does the autonomic nervous system control?
Sensory integration (e.g. combining sight and sound).
Conscious thought processes (e.g. decision making).
Involuntary functions (e.g. heart rate, digestion).
Physical strength and coordination (e.g. lifting weights).
Term 5 of 20
How do Broca's, Wernicke's, and Geschwind's areas work together?
Wernicke's understands words → Geschwind's links meaning → Broca's helps you speak.
Wernicke's generates sounds → Broca's analyzes grammar → Geschwind's stores
vocabulary.
Broca's controls breathing → Wernicke's manages thoughts → Geschwind's links senses.
Broca's processes visual cues → Wernicke's interprets emotions → Geschwind's regulates
speech.
Term 6 of 20
What is the role of Wernicke's area?
Memory storage (hippocampus).
Motor skills (primary motor cortex).
Visual recognition (right temporal lobe).
Language comprehension (left temporal lobe).
