| pariental cortex | samotosensory |
| occipital cortex | vision |
| temporal cortex | sound |
| where are the prefrontal, motor, pariental, occipital and temporal cortex's located? | cerebral cortex |
| left hemisphere assosiation cortex mainly focuses on what? | reading, writing, and speech |
| right hemisphere assosiation cortex mainly focuses on what? | familiar objects and body sphere |
| in sound based language function, the primary auditiory cortex, wernicke's area, borca's area and motor cortex do what? | primary auditory cortex- detects the sound wernicke's -meaning (comprehension) borca's - grammer motor- mouth movement |
| in sight based language function, the primary visual cortex, angular gyrus, wernicke's area, borca's area and motor cortex do what? | primary visual cortex- pattern angular gyrus- read wernecke's- meaning broca's- grammer motor- hand movement |
| limbic system consists of? and what do they do? | hypothalamus- homeostasis, endocrine glands, basic human drives (food, sex) hypocampus- memory amygdala- emotion connected memory |
| brain stem consists of? and what do they do? | medulla- mental cerebelum- movement thalamus- sensory reticular formation- processes neuron info to CNS |

| how's brain superiority related to which hand you right with? | L hand= R superiority R hand- L superiority |
| when seeing an object, how does the R side of the brain analyze it vs. the L side? | R notices form, left notices function |
| what's the reticular formation? | deals with sleep-wake cycle |
