Question

When sensory signals on the left side of the body are sent to the brain for processing, which part of the brain does the processing? Group of answer choices left side parietal sensory cortex right side occipital sensory cortex right side parietal sensory cortex left side occipital sensory cortex

Answer 1

When sensory signals from the left side of the body are sent to the brain for processing, they are primarily processed in the right side parietal sensory cortex. The brain has a contralateral organization, meaning that the left hemisphere processes information from the right side of the body and vice versa. In this case, the right parietal sensory cortex is responsible for processing sensory information from the left side of the body.
