• How does the frontal lobe help with problem-solving skills?

  It aids in concentration and attention.
• Where is the motor cortex located?

  Towards the back of the frontal lobe.
• What is the function of the auditory cortex?

  It controls hearing.
• What functions does the temporal lobe control?

  Hearing, understanding sounds, and creating speech.
• What is the primary function of the occipital lobe?

  It processes visual information from our eyes.
• What memory functions are associated with the temporal lobe?

  It controls some memory functions.
• What is the role of the parietal lobe?

• How does the parietal lobe help us recognize faces?

  It helps us understand that the object we see is a face and identify who they are.
• What is the function of the cerebellum?

  It is involved in movement, coordination, and balance.
• Left hemisphere

  Language , reading , speaking tasks
• Right hemisphere

  visual perception , music , patterns & emotional expressions
• Corpus callosum

  Allows communication between hemispheres, transmits neural messages between them
• Visual agnosia

  Inability to recognise objects - lesion on the parietal & temporal lobes
• Prospagnosia

  Cognitive disorder of facial pereception
• Damage to prefrontal Cortex

  Reduced ability of social emotions but logical reasoning intact
