Which of these observations illustrate regional specialization in the human nervous system?

a. Sensory information may be processed in the occipital lobe or the temporal lobe.
b. When the activity of a synapse fails to correlate with that of other synapses, the synaptic connection may become weaker.
c. Reading a printed word out loud and then thinking of a related word involves the visual cortex, Broca’s area, and the frontal and temporal lobes.

Explanation:

The statements that illustrate the regional specialization of human nervous system are-

a. Sensory information may be processed in the occipital lobe or the temporal lobe.

c. Reading a printed word out loud and then thinking of a related word involves the visual cortex, Broca’s area, and the frontal and temporal lobes.

Humans have the most developed nervous system among all the living organisms. Various parts  of the nervous system has been specialized  for various function. The human brain has been divided into different parts like cerebellum, cerebrum , medulla oblongata etc which are further divided into specialized parts. Each part is specialized to carry out particular function. Moreover, the nervous system has different types of neurons like motor neuron, sensory neurons and interneurons. Each type of neuron has specialized function.

for example, no new evidence will demonstrate that the earth does not orbit around the sun (heliocentric theory), or that living things are not made of cells (cell theory), that matter is not composed of atoms, or that the surface of the earth is not divided into solid plates that have moved over geological timescales .
