Introduction,Figure 1 Block diagram representation of nervous system.,Figure 2 The pyramidal cell.,Figure 3 Structural organization of levels in the brain.,Figure 4 Cytoarchitectural map of the cerebral cortex. The different areas are identified by the thickness of their layers and types of cells within them. Some of the key sensory areas are as follows: Motor cortex: motor strip, area 4; premotor area, area 6; frontal eye fields, area 8. Somatosensory cortex: areas 3, 1, and 2. Visual cortex: areas 17, 18, and 19. Auditory cortex: areas 41 and 42. (From A.
