Nervous System Physiology

The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain, making up about 85% of its weight. It handles higher functions like thought, memory, reasoning, and voluntary movement.

The frontal lobes are responsible for problem solving, judgment and motor functioning.

The cerebral cortex is a part of the brain that functions to make human beings unique and distinct.

The epithalamus is a dorsal part of the diencephalon and connects the limbic system to other parts of the brain.

The body keeps its core temperature controlled by the hypothalamus.

Broca's area, located in the frontal lobe just in front of the primary motor cortex, is essential for speech.

The lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN) is a relay center in the thalamus for the visual pathway. It receives a major sensory input from the retina.

Correct option is (1). 

All of the above

Medulla oblongata is the connection between the spinal cord and the brain. It is important for essential reflexes, e.g. breathing, heart rate and regulation of blood vessels, and other reflexes, e.g. swallowing, salivation, blinking, coughing, sneezing.
