Which of the following best reflects the role of basal ganglia in executive control of behavior or is correct about its anatomy? a. It is important for forming behaviorally relevant associations between novel objects and mental imagery of those associations. b. Its involvement in reward-based learning is differentiable from that of the PFC. c. It projects directly to the OFC and indirectly to the PFC. d. It receives extensive inputs from the thalamus and projects directly to the frontal lobes. e. It is commonly related to disorders such as ataxia and abulia.

Which is an accurate description of the cortical association areas? Multiple Choice A.They are all found in the parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex. B. They integrate multiple types of sensory information and are responsible for complex processing of sensory information. C. They are the cortical locations where primary sensory information first arrives from specific ascending pathways. D. They are found deep in the cerebrum, surrounding the thalamus. E. Their main input is sensory information arriving along neurons that project directly from the thalamus.
