Higher centers in the brain are located in the cerebral cortex, particularly in regions such as the prefrontal cortex, parietal cortex, and temporal cortex. These areas are responsible for higher-order cognitive functions such as decision-making, problem-solving, and language processing.
The pons serves as the conduction pathway between higher and lower brain centers. It also contains nuclei for cranial nerves 5 (trigeminal), 6 (abducens), and 7 (facial).
Salivation is controlled by the salivatory nuclei located in the medulla oblongata region of the brainstem. These nuclei receive input from higher brain centers as well as sensory information to regulate the production of saliva.
The association centers for hearing are located in the temporal lobe, specifically in an area called the auditory cortex. The association centers for smelling, on the other hand, are located in the olfactory bulb and olfactory cortex, which are part of the frontal and temporal lobes.

No, the autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, such as organs and some glands.
