Please answer the questions like you were explaining to somebody who does not know anything about anatomy.
Please cite your work for any reference source you utilize in answering these questions.
1. Compare and contrast the lobes of the cerebrum specifically their overall function and location.
2. Compare and contrast Wernicke’s area and Broca’s area, specifically the location, function and dysfunction that would occur with damage to that region.
3. Explain the role of the cerebellum in normal skeletal muscle movement.
4. The limbic system is a diffuse network of structures in the brain. In your own words, what is the overall function of the limbic system? What role do the following regions of the brain have: thalamus, hypothalamus and hippocampus and amygdala?
