localisation of function

• What areas involved in the process and production of speech and language.

  Somatosensory cortex
• typical behaviour of a split-brain patient

  They are able to say what they see in their right visual field.
• Briefly explain the role of the somatosensory cortex.

  The somatosensory area is located in the parietal lobe and receives incoming sensory information from the skin to produce sensations related to pressure, pain, temperature,
• Explain what is meant by localisation.

  Certain functions have certain locations or areas within the brain.
• Explain what is meant by hemispheric lateralisation in the brain.

  Lateralisation is the idea that the two halves of the brain are functionally different and that each hemisphere has functional specialisations, e.g. the left is dominant for language, and the right excels at visual-motor tasks.
