Many of the neurons with their cell bodies in Wernicke's area send axonal projections that synapse on neurons in Broca's area. Such neurons would necessarily

a Dopamine neurons

b Cortico-cortico neurons

c Serotonin neurons

d Thalamocortical neurons

e. Hippocampal neurons

Answer:

a Dopamine neurons

Step-by-step explanation:

Broca area is an area of the frontal lobe of the brain associated with the control of speech.

The Broca area is links to other regions of the brain, including the Wernicke area, by a neuronal tract called the arcuate fasciculus. From the posterior temporal lobe to the frontal lobe the two areas are connected through the deep white matter running through it.

In addition to being associated in speech production, the Broca area is also associated to language comprehension, to motor-related activities associated with hand movements, and to sensorimotor learning and integration.

Hippocampal neuron is a place cell, one that fires when an animal is in a certain location in an environment. Let's assumes an animal moves to a different location, different place cells become active. This neuron is associated to grid cells that help to map space especially with reference to landmarks and other features it can perceive of the environment.

Dopaminergic neuron (dopamine neuron) are a neuron that responds to “dopamine.”

This neurone categories Includes neurons of the “arcurate nucleus” with axons projection to the "hypophysis" , the “ventral tegmental area” with axons projection to the “limbic system" and the “substantia nigra” whose axons projection is to the “striatum".
