The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Cerebral Cortex**: The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain and is divided into different regions that serve various functions. It primarily consists of three types of areas: sensory areas, motor areas, and association areas. 2. **Identifying the Types of Areas**: - **Sensory Areas**: These regions are responsible for processing sensory information (e.g., vision, hearing, touch). - **Motor Areas**: These regions control voluntary movements by sending signals to muscles. - **Association Areas**: These areas are neither purely sensory nor purely motor. They are involved in higher-order functions such as perception, abstract thinking, and integration of information. 3. **Focusing on Association Areas**: The association areas are crucial for complex cognitive processes. They are made up of interneurons that connect various regions of the cortex and facilitate communication between sensory and motor areas. 4. **Conclusion**: The region of the cerebral cortex that is neither motor nor sensory is known as the **association areas**. ### Final Answer: The region of the cerebral cortex which is neither motor nor sensory is the **association areas**. ---
