2. What is the Neocortex?

Explanation

The Neocortex is a specific part of the brain found in mammals, responsible for higher-order brain functions. It is not related to rock formations, dinosaurs, or tropical fruits.

Submit
3. What is the primary responsibility of the neocortex?

Explanation

The neocortex is mainly responsible for executive functioning, cognition, metacognition, determining personality, goals, and decisions. It is not involved in regulating body temperature, sensory information processing, motor movements initiation, balancing, or coordination.

Submit
4. What is guided by the neocortex?

Explanation

The neocortex is responsible for higher-order brain functions such as reasoning, planning, and goal-setting, rather than tasks related to motor skills, digestion, or emotional responses.

Submit
5. What does the neocortex control?

Explanation

The neocortex is mainly responsible for higher brain functions such as cognitive memory, reasoning, and perception.

Submit
6. How many layers are found in the cortex?

Explanation

The cortex is characterized by its 6 layers, which include molecular, external granular layer, medium pyramidal neurons, internal granular layer, pyramidal neurons, and large pyramidal neurons.

Submit
7. Where does most of EEG originate from?

Explanation

EEG primarily originates from the diple layer, where neurons must resonate together for at least 6 cm to generate a signal.

Submit
8. What process creates the EEG?

Explanation

The correct answer describes the specific process involving charges in the cortex that create the EEG. The incorrect answers do not accurately reflect the source of EEG activity.

Submit
9. Long distance global Axons create brain waves____,____?

Explanation

Long distance global Axons are associated with delta and theta brain waves which are slower in frequency compared to alpha, beta, gamma, sigma, lambda, and kappa waves.

Submit
10. Short distance Axons create brain waves beta, gamma?

Explanation

Short distance Axons create brain waves in the beta and gamma frequency ranges, which are associated with higher mental activity such as problem-solving and decision-making.

Submit
11. Distance Axons that travel regionally create brain waves of which two types?

Explanation

Axons that travel regionally primarily produce alpha and beta brain waves, while other brain wave types like gamma, delta, and theta are associated with different functions and sources within the brain.

Submit
12. Name the 4 main lobes of the brain.

Explanation

The brain is divided into four main lobes - frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe, each serving different functions in processing information and controlling various aspects of behavior and cognition.

Submit
13. What are the 3 primary network systems of the Frontal Lobes?

Explanation

The frontal lobes are responsible for various cognitive functions, and the primary network systems include socio-emotional processing, attentional control, and memory functions.

Submit
14. What functions does the Right Frontal Lobe control?

Explanation

The Right Frontal Lobe is primarily responsible for controlling emotion, expression of language, and prosody.

Submit
15. What is the function of the Parietal Lobe?

Explanation

The Parietal Lobe is responsible for various functions related to sensory information processing, spatial awareness, and cognitive functions, but it is not directly involved in breathing regulation, short-term memory storage, or color recognition.

Submit
16. Temporal Lobes are a major ______zone?

Explanation

The correct answer is 'convergence' because the Temporal Lobes are responsible for integrating and processing sensory information from different parts of the brain.

Submit
17. What are the functions of the Temporal Lobes?

Explanation

The Temporal Lobes are primarily responsible for memory acquisition, emotional valencing, understanding language, perception, and faces categorization. The incorrect answers provided are functions associated with different parts of the brain or body, not specifically related to the Temporal Lobes.

Submit
18. What area of concern is associated with individuals experiencing problems with temper, rapid mood shifts, memory and learning problems?

Explanation

The left temporal lobe is responsible for processing emotions, memory, and learning, so issues in this area can manifest as problems with temper, mood shifts, memory, and learning. The frontal lobe is associated with functions such as reasoning and planning, while the occipital lobe is responsible for visual processing, and the parietal lobe is involved in sensory perception and integration.

Submit
19. What are the Occipital Lobes responsible for?

Explanation

The Occipital Lobes are primarily involved in visual processing, sequential memory functions, and play a role in arousal. They are not responsible for hearing sensation, muscle coordination, or language processing.

Submit
20. Right and Left Hemispheres connected by?

Explanation

The corpus callosum is responsible for connecting the right and left hemispheres of the brain, allowing for communication between the two halves.

Submit
21. The brain stem connects the _________ system and _______to spinal cord and regulates life body functions.

Explanation

The brain stem connects the limbic system and thalamus to the spinal cord and regulates vital body functions such as breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. The incorrect answers provided do not accurately describe the connection and functions of the brain stem.
