Question

what are the 4 lobes of the brain and their function

Answer 1

Frontal Lobe

• Main motor area involved in executing voluntary movements
• Movement elicited with least amount of electrical stimulation
• Decision-making
• Helps modulate social behaviors.
• Responsible for Executive functions:
• working memory
• cognitive flexibility
• planning
• inhibition
• abstract reasoning
• Expressive language function
• Coordinated movements of tongue and vocal cords for word formation
• Controls Speech Production
• Language Comprehension • interpreting action of others

Parietal Lobe

• Integrates somesthetic stimuli for recognition and recall of form, texture, and weight.

• Generate visual-spatial relationships

• Integrate these perceptions with other sensations to create awareness of trajectories of moving objects.

• Mediate proprioception (awareness of the position of body parts in space).

• These are involved in abilities such as calculation, writing, left-right orientation, and finger recognition.

Temporal Lobe

• The Auditory Area is a significant part of the hearing process.

• Its primary function is to process sound along with its volume and pitch.

• The location of the sound is also processed via primary auditory cortex.

• Roles in the formation and storage of memories associated with emotional event

• Is positive correlated with social interaction

• Comprehension or understanding of written and spoken language

Occipal Lobe

• It is highly specialized for processing information about static and moving objects

• Is excellent in pattern recognition.

• Complex Processing Of visual Information
