Vocab quiz 4 the cerebral cortex and brain hemisphere organization

QuestionAnswer
the intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells covering the cerebral hemispheres; the body's ultimate control and information processing center cerebral cortex
the portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead; involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgements frontal lobes
the portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position parietal lobes
the portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the back of the head; includes areas that receive information from the visual fields occipital lobes
the portion of the cerebral cortex lying roughly above the ears; includes the auditory areas, each receiving information primarily from the opposite ear temporal lobes
an area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements motor cortex
an area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations somatosensory cortex
areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking association areas
the brain's ability to change, especially during childhood, be reorganizing after damage or by building new pathways based on experience plasticity
the formation of new neurons neurogenesis
the large band of neural fibers connection the two brain hemispheres and carrying messages between them corpus callosum
a condition resulting from surgery that isolates the brain's two hemispheres by cutting the fibers connecting them split brain
our subjective awareness of ourselves and our environment consciousness
the interdisciplinary study of the brain activity linked with cognition cognitive neuroscience
the principle that information is often simultaneously processed on separate conscious and unconscious tracks dual processing
a condition in which a person can respond to a visual stimulus without consciously experiencing it blindsight
processing many aspects of a problem simultaneously; generally used to process well learn information or to solve difficult problems parallel processing
