Based on what is known about the functions of the lobes within the cerebral cortex, if researchers discovered a new animal, and the animal's parietal lobe had larger areas dedicated to the toes than to the fingers, you should expect that the animal's:
A)fingers are probably more sensitive to pain than the toes are
B)toes are probably more flexible than the fingers are
C)fingers are probably more flexible than the toes are
D)toes are probably more sensitive to pain than the fingers are

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory input from various parts of the body, including touch and pain. Larger areas dedicated to specific body parts within the parietal lobe indicate that these body parts have a greater degree of sensitivity in terms of touch and pain. Therefore, if an animal's parietal lobe has larger areas dedicated to the toes than to the fingers, it is likely that the toes are more sensitive to pain than the fingers are.
