In second section, rat's cortex, development, anatomy, electrical activity detailed provided Motor functions addressed third which offers complete analysis behavior decorticated rat. fourth deals with topics sensory (visual, somatosensory auditory, gustatorial) association subject five, plasticity neocortex discussed final takes up issues effect gender environment, experience perceptual competencies, sparing, recovery, transplants.Bryan Kolb Professor Head Department Psychology at University Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, coauthor Fundamentals Human Neuropsychology.
