Summary Introduction
To Determine:
If the given statement 'the definite function of a precise cortical region will carry out is always fixed during the embryonic development' is true or false.
Introduction:
The cerebral cortex is the convoluted surface layer of the cerebrum gray matter. It functions mainly in the coordination of sensory and motor information. It is formed of tightly packed neurons is wrinkly in structure.

True or False: The areas of cortex devoted to processing information from the fovea are larger than those devoted to processing information from the periphery, which is another reason why images projected on the fovea are seen in great detail.
True or False: Parvocellular and koniocellular layers of the lateral geniculate nucleus process color, but magnocellular layers do not.
In a syndrome called word blindness, a person loses the ability to read (even single letters), although the person can still see and speak. What is a possible neurological explanation? That is, can you imagine a pattern of brain damage that might produce this result?

- Why does a person in a vegetative state continue living for a certain period, when there is no activity in his or her cerebrum? Can such a person feel pain or initiate voluntary movements? Explain.arrow_forwardThe concept of “labeled lines” states that each nerve input to the brain reports only a particular type of information, such as auditory versus visual information. Does this happen because the nature of the nerve fibers conveying the information is unique or because the nature of the brain location where the signals are received is unique? How do you know this?arrow_forwardWith the exception of olfaction, all sensory pathways first travel to the ________, which acts as a relay and processing station. medulla oblongata cerebellum thalamus hypothalamus cerebrumarrow_forward
