To write:
The areas of the brain responsible for integrating sensory output and generating motor output.
Introduction:
The nervous system does three intersecting activities of sensory input, integration, and motor output. The sensory input is distinguishing the environment and modifications around an organism and is conducted by the sensory organs.
The integration comprises processing of information and is conducted by the CNS (central nervous system), constituting of the spinal cord and the brain. The motoneuron output refers to the transmission of signals from the CNS (the integration center) and is conducted out by a group of effector cells, the gland cells or the muscles cells that in real sense transmit responses of the body to the external stimuli.
