Parietal lobe
At the top-middle to top-back. The parietal lobe is responsible for the sensation of touch. It has
important functions for integrating diverse sensory input, tranlating vision, hearing, touch and
memory into meaningful experiences.
Occipital lobe
At the back of the brain. The occipital lobes are largely responsible for receiving and organizing
visual information, perhaps the most sophisticated sense in humans.
Genes
Long deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules, the basic physical units of heredity that appear as
locations on chromosomes. A single gene is a subunit of DNA that determines inherited traits in
living things.
Gene disorder
Alleles on particular genes that contain defective codes. Often they result in proteins that
simply don't do the needed job. It is also possible for them to creat defective proteins that are
actually damaging.
Genotype
Specific genetic makeup of an individual.
Huntington's Chorea
Genetic disorder marked by involuntary limb movements and progressing to major
neurocognitive disorder.
Karotype
The collection of these 46 chromosomes into their pairs.

Genetic disorder marked by involuntary limb movements and progressing to major neurocognitive disorder. The collection of these 46 chromosomes into their pairs. There is an extra x chromosome (female xxx or male xxy). Thee individuals tend to be tall, sometimes with underdeveloped sex organs.
