Assurance
cerebral cortex ANSW ✔✔ The intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells covering the
cerebral hemispheres; the body's ultimate control and information-processing center.
frontal lobes ANSW ✔✔ the portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead;
involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgments
parietal lobes ANSW ✔✔ portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and
toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position
occipital lobe ANSW ✔✔ portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head;
includes areas that receive information from the visual fields
temporal lobe ANSW ✔✔ portion of the cerebral cortex lying roughly above the ears;
includes the auditory areas, each receiving information primarily from the opposite ear
motor cortex ANSW ✔✔ an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary
movements
somatosensory cortex ANSW ✔✔ area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and
processes body touch and movement sensations
association areas ANSW ✔✔ areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary
motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as
learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking
plasticity ANSW ✔✔ the brain's ability to change, especially during childhood, by
reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience
