• Motor control

Which part of the brain is responsible for processing sensory information?

• cerebellum

• hippocampus

• thalamus

• cerebral cortex

What is the role of the corpus callosum?

• The corpus callosum is responsible for regulating heart rate.

• The corpus callosum connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.

• The corpus callosum is a protective layer that surrounds the brain.

• The corpus callosum is involved in the production of red blood cells.
