Module 12

Question 1

Frontal Lobes

Answer 1

Right behind the forehead.

Involved in SPEACH, MUSCLE MOVEMENT, PLANNING AND JUDGMENT (Gage…)

Question 2

Parietal Lobes

Answer 2

Located at the top and rear top of cerebral cortex. RECEIVES SENSORY INPUT FOR TOUCH AND BODY POSITION

Question 3

Occipital Lobes

Answer 3

Portion of cerebral cortex located at the very back the head. RECEIVES VISUAL INFORMATION

Question 4

Temporal Lobes

Answer 4

Portion of cerebral cortex above the ears. AUDITORY

Question 5

Motor Cortex

Answer 5

An area at the rear of the FRONTAL lobes that control VOLUNTARY MOVEMENT (sends messages to body parts to move)

Question 6

Cognitive Neural Prosthetics

Answer 6

Prosthetics are programs to move in certain ways when the brain area which correlates to that movement is active.

Question 7

Somatosensory Cortex

Answer 7

An area at the front of the parietal lobes that specializes in receiving information from the skins senses. Touch, temperature, no and movement.

Question 8

Associative Areas

Answer 8

Most of the cortex is not specialized to correspond to one primary function; these intermediate areas are invoked in learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking.

Question 9

Prefrontal Cortex

Answer 9

Enables judgment, planning, and processing of new memories. (PHINEAS GAGE)
