Document Summary

Less primary motor cortex with legs and arms because less muscles. Single source required to do 2 things at the same time, thus impossible. Associated with regulation of emotion and behavioural impulsivity. Can feel sensations to right hand parts of body. Individuals generally understand what they hear but cannot answer. Specialization in certain parts of the brain. Individuals have problems in expressing meaning in speech and understand speech. Can produce speech but contains very little content. Left hander less highly localized in parts of functions of their brain. Things shown in right visual field goes to left hemisphere, vice-versa. Differences in the ability of the left/right hemispheres to process various types of information. Right visual field more rapid than left. Spatial information shown to left visual field process more fast. Consist of a small section (locus) of the chromosome and dna. Genes proteins physiological systems behavior. Genotype set of genes that individual inherits from his/her parents.
