Lobes of the Brain[edit | edit source]
The human brain is divided into four main sections known as lobes. These include the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. Each lobe is responsible for different functions and abilities.
Frontal Lobe[edit | edit source]
The frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain and is located at the front of the brain. It is responsible for higher cognitive functions including reasoning, problem-solving, judgment, and motor function. The frontal lobe is also involved in memory storage and behavior.
Parietal Lobe[edit | edit source]
The parietal lobe is located in the middle section of the brain and is involved in processing sensory information from the body including spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), temperature, taste, and touch.
Temporal Lobe[edit | edit source]
The temporal lobe is located on the bottom section of the brain. This lobe is important for processing sensory input and assigning it emotional meaning. It is also involved in visual memory, language comprehension, and emotion association.
Occipital Lobe[edit | edit source]
The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain, and is responsible for visual processing. It contains the primary visual cortex, which receives and interprets information from the retinas of the eyes.
