What is the difference between an association area of the brain and the primary part to which it corresponds?
105396
Primary part will analyse the input it receives while the association area involves in the perception and elaboration of the input that primary part receives.

There are important structures in the base brain that control breathing, metabolism and other essential life sustaining issues.\n\nThe frontal is more Analytical thinking, refraining from saying odd things.  Emotional stuff.

Nerves stimulate areas of the brain that correspond to the part of the body they connect with.  The part may be gone, but the brain area isn't and can be stimulated by the remainder of the nerves, other brain areas, or just become slightly active.  The brain doesn't know the part is gone and anytime that area is stimulated you feel the body part even if it isn't there due to amputation.

In the brain.  \n\nIts in the frontal lobes above the orbits of the eyes and is associated with decision making and emotions.

depends on what type of person you are.\n\nIf you are linear, logical, and you remember things using numbers or logical orders then you use the left side.  \n\nIf you are a very creative person and you remember things using pictures or symbols then you are using the right side of your brain.

The brain is part of the nervous system.  The smallest component of the nervous system are axons, which have a head and a tail.  Millions of these line up head to tail and form the nerve endings in your body.  In the space between each head and tail (called a synapse) chemicals can flow.  When something happens (you prick yourself), an axon signals chemicals to flow between the synapse, activate the next axon, and the next until the message reaches your brain and you react.  Different drugs affect the ability for these chemicals to flow across the synapse (speeding up, slowing down, or not at all) or wipe out axons all together leaving gaps in the message chain.

No, it is not true. All of your brain gets used, at different times, for different functions. \n\nHow can it be measured? PET scans and fMRI.

All that is really known for sure is that there appears to be more electical and chemical activity in each side of the brain when performing certain tasks, but where there is a misconseption is that one side and one side only is responsible for the activity in a given subject area. Most things require many parts of your brain, some more than others.

This is a very interesting question.  I wonder if there is a scientific answer for this.  Let me google it.....\n\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11023208/  is a great link for reading about the connection between the heart and the brain.  This was a good question and I learned alot.  Thanks.

The human brain controls heartbeat, respiration, digestion and other autonomic functions. It is the seat of thought, reasoning, and abstraction. The brain is what makes the cognitive mind possible such as perception, interpretation, imagination, and memories.\n\nWhile all that is good and fine if this is a homework question for elementary school or middle school just put down that it controls thoughts and emotions or something less complicated.

here is my best possible explanation, the brain is made up of 3 parts, concuss, sub-concuss, and super ego. between wake and sleep our concuss mind and sub-concuss mind actually link together. and in rem or deep sleep its or super ego and sub-concuss linking together, dammit Kirk i am not a doctor.

Look in the encylopedia and look up the word brain and information pertaining to (frontal Lobes of the brain) it pertains much to what you are wanting to know. It talks about the thinking and language and control motor thrpugh the body.I found this information in a nursing handbook that I have.It was too much to type so I just gave you a briefing.

A Human head contains a very massive brain in a skull that offers little “moving room.”  If a human hits their head against something hard, the mass of the brain has a large momentum which will cause it to hit the inside of the skull, possibly causing damage.\nA woodpecker head contains a less massive brain, well protected in a skull which has more relative room to allow movement of the brain without hitting the inside of the skull.  As the woodpecker drills for insects with its beak, the actual head movement is small (but rapid).  At no time does the brain get damaged.

It is the seat of the intellect, not an intellectual organ.  All cognition (thought, logic, creativity, etc) is initiated in the brain.

The olfactory area is the area responsible for the sense of smell. Molecules of thigns that smell are stumuli for the olfactory nerves that send electric signals to ur brain and u get the sense fo smell.

The answer to your second question is that the surface of the brain is folded and ridged. This increases the surface area compared to if it were smooth. Only the surface of the brain is used for thinking so having a larger surface means you can do more thinking.
