regions.– outer portion is known as the “cerebral
cortex”.• Receives sensory information and
controls motor movement from the opposite (contralateral) side of the body.

• Correlating brain activity with behavior can involve the identifying of peculiar behaviors and looking for abnormal brain structures or function.
• These abnormal brain structures can be identified using:
• Computerized Axial Tomography (CAT scan).
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
