Which of the following brain processes is not a function of the cerebral cortex?
A

B

D
Language processing
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the role of the cerebral cortex. The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain involved in higher-order brain functions such as sensory perception, voluntary motor control, and language processing.
Step 2: Identify the functions listed in the problem: sensory perception, voluntary motor control, language processing, and regulation of heart rate.
Step 3: Recall that sensory perception involves processing sensory information, which is a key function of the cerebral cortex.
Step 4: Recognize that voluntary motor control, which involves planning and executing movements, is also managed by the cerebral cortex.
Step 5: Note that regulation of heart rate is an autonomic function controlled by lower brain structures such as the brainstem, not the cerebral cortex.
