Flashcards

Frontal Lobe

The frontal lobe is responsible for higher-level cognitive functions such as planning, decision-making, problem-solving, and working memory.

Wernicke's Area

Located in the temporal lobe, Wernicke's area is crucial for language comprehension and processing.

Parietal Lobe

The parietal lobe processes sensory information related to touch, temperature, pain, and pressure.

Broca's Area

Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe and primarily involved in speech production and articulation.
