• Basal Ganglia

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

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

The role of the cerebellum is to 

• detect emotions
• coordinate posture and balance
• process visual information
• think symbolically

Which of the four lobes is typically responsible for receiving and processing auditory information?

• frontal
• parietal
• occipital
• temporal

Which parts of the body are coordinated by the largest area of the somatosensory cortex?

• torso and legs
• feet and legs 
• feet and hands
• hands and face
