Document Summary
As speech during vocal interpretations control in the areas in general) better control of the face allow for better facial expressions to express emotions as well. Frontal lobe motor cortex: controlling the hands and the face take up a lot of space within the motor cortex (better. Parietal lobe somatosensory cortex: the hands and the face once again takes up a lot of space within the somatosensory, shows that these two areas are more sensitive than other areas of the body. Able to view the cortical distribution of gray (made from the dendrites of the cell bodies) Able to see both sides of the brain: coronal. White matter: the information highways of the brain. Thalamus important for sensory processing, sensory relay station: damage can cause temporary or permanent unconsciousness. Hippocampus fundamental in creating new memories. Amygdala important for emotional processing: dysfunctions can lead to autism spectrum disorder. Corpus callosum bridge between the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
