In your own words, how is the brain involved (i.e., what brain structures) in producing a sentence? How is it involved in understanding a sentence? Does thinking of the brain as a network simplify your understanding of language/speech, or do you find it to be more complex?

Imagine that you are driving a car down the lake shore, and youhear a siren approaching. Identify the areas of the brain thatwould be involved in the neurological response to the stimulus.What parts of the brain does the signal activate, how does it getthere, what happens there as a result of the signal, and what isthe output?

Specify whether each pathway is somesthetic or autonomic; andwhether the response is reflexive or voluntary, cognitive orsubconscious.

Be sure to include at least four parts ofthe nervous system (not including the optic and auditory organs andtheir sensory nerves) involved in the response. Do not limit yourdiscussion to neuromuscular interactions.
