General brain structure and function

1. The dominant hemisphere for language in most right-handed people.
3. Brain damage caused by interruption of blood flow, often leading to language disorders.
6. The region of the brain responsible for speech production and articulation.
9. An experiment where different sounds are presented to each ear to test hemispheric dominance.
10. Any sensory input (like sound or light) that triggers a brain response.
11. The division of brain functions between the left and right hemispheres.
13. The part of the brain that processes hearing and language understanding.
15. The phenomenon in which one hemisphere controls certain functions more strongly.
16. The outer layer of the brain responsible for higher functions like thinking and language.
18. The symmetrical appearance of the two brain hemispheres.
20. The brain region controlling voluntary muscle movements, including those for speech.

2. The brain area involved in reasoning, motor control, and speech production.
4. The brain area responsible for understanding spoken language.
5. The lobe that processes sensory information such as touch and body position.
7. The part of the brain mainly responsible for vision.
8. One of the two halves of the brain, left or right.
12. Mental processes such as thinking, understanding, learning, and remembering.
