Correct Answer: (b) and (c)
Which, if any, of the following are true? 1: Each region of the neocortex may contain more specialized modules. 2: Damage to a given volume of neocortical tissue tends to be more profoundly disabling than damage to the same volume of the subcortex. 3: Functional neuro-imaging methods allow us to observe which brain regions are active.

Correct Answer: The motor and sensory systems do not interact
Below are various descriptions of some of the most important components in the human nervous system-but only one is correct. Please highlight it:

Correct Answer: Efferent or motor nerves extend out from the central nervous system to the organs
