Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The motor cortex controls voluntary motor activity. However, decussation occurs at the intersec-tion of the medulla and spinal cord, explaining why the right motor cortex actually controls vol-untary motor activity on the left side of the body. 3. These functions are attributed to the associ-ation cortex. 4. Broca's area controls motor speech.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Hypothyroidism and Parkinson's disease have been correlated with depression. The other mental health disorders in options 2, 3, and 4 have not been connected.
