The upper most layer of the brain which is 2–4mm thick.

• Cerebral Cortex

• Motor Strip

• Corpus Cortex

• Parietal Lobe

The corpus callosum

• manages our understanding of speech and language

• cannot process messages sent from the left hand

• is a deep fissure in the cerebral cortex

• is a thick band of nerve fibres linking the two hemispheres of the brain

Which of the following statements is true?

• Each hemisphere's functions are fixed and cannot be performed by the other hemisphere
• The right hemisphere mostly specialises in verbal functions, while the left hemisphere specialises in non-verbal functions
• Both hemispheres operate quite independently 
• We usually draw on both hemipsheres to perform most functions 

The frontal lobe of the cerebral cortex is associated with:

• helping us find our position in space
• receiving information from bodily sensations
• higher-order functions such as planning, reasoning and problem-solving
• processing auditory information

Which of the following statements is true about language processing in the brain?

• Broca's area in the left frontal lobe is involved in the production of articulate speech
• The right hemisphere is where all major language functions are located
• The comprehension of speech is a function of Wernicke's area in the left frontal lobe
• Damage to Wernicke's area does not cause any speech difficulties

Wernicke's area is said to be responsible for speech _______________, whereas Broca's area is involved in speech _______________.

• production; comprehension

• syntax; production

• comprehension; syntax
