| | The orbitofrontal cortex is often associated with ethical, social or emotionally related behavior. | | | Portions of the cerebral cortex associated with the limbic system, such as the medial cortex and parahippocampal gyri, are often called the "limbic association cortex". | | | Also, the somatosensory cortex allocates more area for superficial structures of the face, whereas the somatomotor cortex is more concerned with structures responsible for mastication and vocalization. |

| | This cortex area is a map of the body, and the map was determined by neurologists touching electrodes to different points on the cortex surface, and observing which muscles contracted. | | | This knowledge of the functional areas of the cortex did not come about from studying the actual structure of the cortex, but instead from two other methods: by electrically stimulating different points on the cortex and observing the results, and by observing individuals who have specific cortex damage. | | | This is similar to the primary visual cortex, in which more cortex is devoted to the center-of-view than to peripheral vision. |

| | He explores the ramifications of his insights into a wide range of cerebral functions, such as sleep, dreaming, awareness, problem solving, creative thinking, and the dynamics of nerve cell assemblies that make consciousness possible. | | | I attempted to apply these six darwinian attributes to our mental processes in The Cerebral Symphony and in “Islands in the mind,” published in Seminars in the Neurosciences in 1991, but at that time I hadn’t yet found a specific neural mechanism that could turn the crank. | | | In a book that parallels this one, How Brains Think, I explored those subjects in a general way but here I treat them as some of the predicted outcomes of a detailed darwinian theory for how our cerebral cortex represents mental images — and occasionally recombines them, to create something new and different. |
