Solutions For An Introduction to Brain and Behavior Chapter 11 Problem 2R5

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

The areas of motor cortex and their functions associated with it are represented by “homunculus.” The primary somatosensory cortex is arranged in series of homunculus. It sends information to the secondary somatosensory cortex, which produces perception.

Damage to the secondary somatosensory cortex results in “apraxia,” which is an inability to carry out a series of movements.

Thus, the blank can be filled with apraxia.
