People who have paralysis due to a break in the spinal cord have intact sensory neurons in spite of their inability to experience sensation in the paralyzed areas.The problem is that the sensory information cannot reach the part of the brain that translates it into actual sensation.This part of the brain is called
A) the motor cortex
B) the somatic sensory cortex
C) Wernicke's area
D) Broca's area

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The somatic sensory cortex is responsible for processing tactile information from the body, which is necessary for experiencing sensation. In cases of spinal cord injury, the sensory information cannot reach this part of the brain, leading to the inability to perceive sensation in paralyzed areas. The motor cortex is responsible for controlling voluntary movements, while Wernicke's area and Broca's area are involved in language processing.
