7
Q
Sensory Cortex
A
- Recieves Sensory Details
- Different areas for different senses
- Larger area for more sensitive areas
8
Q
Motor Cortex
A
- Back of frontal lobe
- Movement
- Area dedicated to part depends on now much control is needed
9
Q
Mirror Neurons
A
- In frontal and Parietal lobes
- near motor and sensory cortices
- Action in these when watching another do something
- origin of empathy?

Language Areas
A
- Broca’s Area
- Wernicke’s Area
12
Q
Broca’s Area
A
- Language production
- Conjunction of temporal and frontal lobe
- Hard to produce language if damaged
13
Q
Wernike’s Area
A
- Language comprehension
- Wernike’s aphasia
- trouble processing language
- don’t even comprehend own language
14
