cooking, describe the different components/aspects of the activity AND what parts of the brain you need for each of the different aspects of completing that behavior.

Be specific for the cortical area. state the specific cortical area important for the behavior/processing. Describe the function of each area and how it's necessary/involved while cooking and after cooking when eating.

What parts of the brain do you need to process the different sensory information required for this activity?

What parts of the brain do you need to plan, coordinate, and execute the motor output required for this activity?

What other parts of the brain would you need for other aspects of the behavior (i.e. not sensory or movement)? (i.e. Memory? Emotion? Language? Thermoregulation? Planning/judgment? Etc.).

Would this activity involve more parasympathetic or sympathetic nervous system activation? WHY? Are there any situations/events that might cause that to change? Provide an example.
