◯ Cerebrum ◯
① Front Lobe
The frontal lobe is the part of the brain that controls important cognitive skills in humans, such as:
problem-solving
memory
language
judgment
sexual behavio
It is, in essence, the “control panel” of our personality and our ability to communicate.
② Practial lobe
The parietal lobe processes information about ;
・temperature,
・taste,
・touch
・movement
③ Temporal lobe
The temporal lobes are believed to play an important role in
processing affect/emotions,
language,
certain aspects of visual perception.
The dominant temporal lobe, which is the left side in most people, is involved in understanding language and learning and remembering verbal information.
④ Occipital lobe
The occipital lobe is the visual processing area of the brain. It is associated with
visuospatial processing,
distance and depth perception,
color determination,
object and face recognition,
memory formation.
◯ Cerebellum ◯
⑤ Cerebellum
The cerebellum is important for making postural adjustments in order to maintain balance. Through its input from vestibular receptors and proprioceptors, it modulates commands to motor neurons to compensate for shifts in body position or changes in load upon muscles.
◯ Brain stem ◯
⑥ Brain stem
Brainstem is the bottom part of your brain. It looks like a stalk that connects the rest of your brain to your spinal cord. Your brainstem sends signals from your brain to the rest of your body. It controls many subconscious body functions, like breathing and maintaining your heart rate.
※ Key structures that are part of the lobes include:
Wernicke’s area
Broca’s area
limbic system
These structures also span other lobes. For example, Wernicke’s area extends into the parietal lobe, and Broca’s area is part of the frontal lobe.
