Solutions For An Introduction to Brain and Behavior Chapter 11 Problem 3R5

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution 1

The areas of motor cortex and their functions associated with it are represented by “homunculus.” The information regarding the sensations, which may be superficial, deep or visceral, is sent to the somatosensory area of cerebrum, where the stimulus is recognised and again the signals reach the effector organ, then we experience that particular sense.

The somatosensory cortex sends information to the dorsal stream, which is responsible for the unconscious movements. It also send information to the ventral stream, which is responsible for the conscious activities like object recognition.

Thus, the blank can be filled with dorsal; ventral.
