M2L4 M2L5

A region of the cerebral cortex that has specialized areas for movement, abstract thinking,planning, memory, and judgement

• parietal lobe
• occipital lobe
• frontal lobe
• temporal lobe

The visual processing areas of cortex in the occipital lobes.

• visual cortex
• auditory cortex
• temporal lobe
• motor cortex

a condition resulting from surgery that isolates the brain's two hemispheres by cutting thefibers (mainly those of the corpus callosum) connecting them

• Plasticity
• split brain
• Broca's area
• frontal lobe

the frontmost portion of the frontal lobes, important in predicting consequences, pursuinggoals, planning, problem solving, maintaining emotional control, and engaging in abstractthought

• wernicke's area
• parietal lobe
• prefrontal cortex
• broca's area

the large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them

• Wernicke's area
• auditory cortex
• sensory cortex
• corpus callosum

the area of the temporal lobe responsible for processing sound information

• motor cortex
• association areas
• auditory cortex
• visual cortex

the brain's ability to change, especially during childhood, by reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience

• Broca's Area
• Neurogenesis
• Wernicke's Area
• Plasticity

area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movementsensations

• corpus callosum
• motor cortex
• broca's area
• sensory cortex

controls the right side of the body; analytical, language, math

• right hemisphere
• auditory cortex
• left hemisphere
• Wernicke's area

an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements

• temporal lobe
• sensory cortex
• visual cortex
• motor cortex
