Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the most accurate description of the association areas of the cortex?
A
They are located in the left hemishere and associate input from the right hemisphere
B
They integrate information from different parts of the brain
C
They include the motor and sensory areas in each lobe
D
They are crucial for providing basic survival needs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The association cortices include most of the cerebral surface of the human brain and are largely responsible for the complex processing that goes on between the arrival of input in the primary sensory cortices and the generation of behavior.

Detailed explanation-2: -Association areas typically refer to the part of the cerebral cortex that involves getting inputs from multiple areas. The area is also termed as “association cortex”. The association area gets information from sensory areas.

Detailed explanation-3: -The superior temporal polysensory area integrates somatosensory information from the posterior parietal cortex with information from various other sensory systems.

Detailed explanation-4: -Limbic association area. Located in the anterior-ventral portion of the temporal lobe, the parahippocampal gyrus. Posterior association area. Anterior association area.
