Question

Imagine a scenario where you are sitting in a living room eating a snack of bacon. A cute little doggie named Arty comes into the room and climbs up and sits on your lap. Arty looks at you with his big eyes, head slightly cocked to one side, and pants gently while wagging his tail. You proceed to pet the doggie on the back while saying "good puppy. You both are clearly enjoying the moment, Indicate (typed on this sheet) for each of the following brain areas what you think the involvement would be, if any, in the above scenario for you and the doggie. If the function of your brain structure would differ from the doggie's make sure to point that out. Try to limit your answers for each brain area to just a couple of sentences that are well written and concise. You can work with others, but remember that your answers need to be your own typed in your own voice. 1. Visual area MT (a.ka., visual area V5) 2. Primary olfactory cortex 3. Primary somatosensory cortex

This class is a nueroscience class but it also has a mix in psychology

Answer 1

1 visual area MT is a region of extratriate visual cortex.

2 this cortex is area which get sensation of smell.it is located in temporal lobe.

3 it is responsible for processing somatic sensations. it is used for detecting touch and temperature.

4 it is principal brain areas involved in motor functions.

5 it is cerebral cortex covering the front part of frontal lobe.

6 it is located in frontal lobe of the brain hemisphere it is related to speech production.

7 it is primary respiratory control center. its main function is to send signals to the muscles which controls respiration and breathing.

8 it is area located at the back and bottom of brain. this is related to the coordination of fine voluntary movements and posture

9 it is the small region of brain. it is portion of the diencephalonlying beneath the thalamus at the base of the cerebrum.its function is releasing hormones and regulating body temperature

10 damage is in left hemisphere

11 right cerebral hemisphere.

12 broca's area is damaged

13 occipital lobe is damaged

14 cerebellum is damaged

15 limbic system is damaged
