Study Notes
Brain Lobes and Structures
-
Frontal Lobe
- Located at the front of the brain.
- Responsible for functions such as decision making, problem-solving, and planning.
- Involved in voluntary movement and control of behavior and emotions.
-
Parietal Lobe
- Positioned behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain.
- Integrates sensory information including touch, temperature, and pain.
- Plays a role in spatial awareness and navigation.
-
Temporal Lobe
- Found on the sides of the brain, near the temples.
- Important for processing auditory information and understanding language.
- Involved in memory formation and emotional responses.
-
Brain Stem
- Connects the brain to the spinal cord.
- Controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
- Composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
-
Cerebellum
- Located under the cerebrum at the back of the brain.
- Coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and posture.
- Plays a role in motor learning and timing.
-
Occipital Lobe
- Located at the back of the brain.
- Primarily responsible for visual processing and interpretation.
- Contains the primary visual cortex which receives input from the eyes.
