Within Each Hemisphere, Deep to the Floor of the Lateral

Question

Within each hemisphere, deep to the floor of the lateral ventricle, you will find the
A) anterior commissures.
B) basal nuclei.
C) motor association areas.
D) visual cortex.
E) auditory cortex.

Accepted Answer

The basal nuclei, also known as the basal ganglia, are a group of nuclei that are located deep to the floor of the lateral ventricle in each hemisphere. They are involved in motor control and are important for initiating and regulating movement. The other options are not located in this area. The anterior commissures are located above the ventricles and connect the two hemispheres, while the motor and sensory association areas are located in the cerebral cortex. The visual and auditory cortex are also located in the cerebral cortex, but they are not deep to the floor of the lateral ventricle.
