Document Summary
Study guide - psyc 2307: neocortex (6 layers) involved in integrative functions, sensory input/output to other areas of the brain. The lateral (1st and 2nd) ventricles form c-shaped pools underlying the cerebral cortex. The 3rd and 4th, however, extend into the brainstem. The cerebral aqueduct connects the third and 4th ventricles. Csf is produced by ependymal glial cells (support and protection for neurons) located adjacent to the ventricles. Csf flows from the lateral ventricles out through the 4th ventricle to drain into the circulatory system at the base of the brainstem: brain damage allows neuroscientists to explore different functions of the brain.

This discovery led to to the understanding that the anterior of the frontal lobe area is responsible for speech: perception: brain organizes information.
