VI. Principles of Brain Functioning
a) Hierarchical organization . Explain how the brain is organized as a hierarchy or rank-order system of power/control: more advanced structures like the cerebral cortex receive info from, and then issue commands to, less advanced structures.
b) Contralateral organization – each cerebral hemisphere (right and left) controls the opposite of the body, and receives info from the opposite visual field. Explain with an example.
c)Cerebral lateralization – each side of the cortex is specializes in certain kinds of processing. Explain with regard to each side of the cortex.
