POWERPOINT - Read and write down notes before each class.
I can start with this:
Construct a definition of the cerebral cortex that refers to its locations and functions.
List three key functions that the cerebral hemispheres have in common.
Explain the meaning of the term hemispheric specialisation.
I know how to do this:
