Common mistakes in Parts of the brain and what they control
Recorded against questions in this topic that are not shown above, so none of these points at an answer you can see on this page.
- Choosing the medulla because it also controls important involuntary functions.
- Assigns higher cortical functions to the medulla.
- Confuses visual cortex with frontal executive or cerebellar motor regions.
- Assigns pituitary control to regions primarily involved in coordination or fibre connection.
- Maps symptoms to brain regions by position rather than function.
