POSSIBLE FIGURES:    10.2,  10.7,  10.13,  11.1,  12.13
POSSIBLE SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS:
    * What are the behavioral differences between a low-decerebrate and a diencephalic organism?
    * The cortex is said to have multiple representation. Explain what  is meant by that statement and give 
        examples.
    * What is meant by the binding problem and what are possible explanations?
    * Explain the Felleman and van Essen model for cortical processing.
    * What are five anatomical asymmetries in the brain?
    * What results have been reported for electrical stimulation of the brain? Which effects are asymmetrical?
    * Explain the asymmetries of the visual, auditory and somatosensory systems.
    * What brain anatomy differences are seen between males and females? What explanations are offered for these differences?
    * What cognitive and behavioral differences have been reported on gender? What explanations are offered for these differences?
    * What brain asymmetry is seen in non-hearing people? In individuals raised in extreme environmental deprivation (Genie)?

    * What differences are found in the brains of  homosexual men? How do their behaviors correlate with heterosexual  men and women?
