4.1.2 Cerebral Cortex

• The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain, responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thought, memory, and language
• The cerebral cortex is divided into four distinct regions called lobes, each performing specific cognitive functions.
• Match the lobe with its primary function:

  Frontal lobe ↔️ Planning and decision-making

  Parietal lobe ↔️ Sensory processing

  Temporal lobe ↔️ Auditory processing

  Occipital lobe ↔️ Visual processing
• Order the functions of the frontal lobe:

  1️⃣ Planning

  2️⃣ Decision-making

  3️⃣ Shaping personality

  4️⃣ Motor control
• The frontal lobe coordinates voluntary muscle movements
• The frontal lobe shapes individual character and behavior.
• What cognitive functions is the frontal lobe responsible for?

  Planning, decision-making
• The temporal lobe is located below the parietal
• The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain and is responsible for visual processing.
• Match the lobe with its primary function:

  Frontal ↔️ Planning and motor control

  Parietal ↔️ Sensory processing

  Temporal ↔️ Auditory processing

  Occipital ↔️ Visual perception
• What role does the frontal lobe play in personality development?

  Shapes individual character
• When planning a project, the frontal lobe enables you to break down tasks and set deadlines
• The frontal lobe is solely responsible for personality and decision-making.

  False
• Order the functions of the frontal lobe in a logical sequence:

  1️⃣ Organizing and sequencing actions

  2️⃣ Evaluating options and selecting the best course of action

  3️⃣ Shaping individual character

  4️⃣ Coordinating voluntary muscle movements
• Which cognitive function of the frontal lobe involves organizing and sequencing actions to achieve goals?

  Planning
• The parietal lobe is located above the temporal
• How does the parietal lobe help you navigate through a crowded room?

  Processes spatial information
• The parietal lobe is primarily involved in auditory processing and memory formation.

  False
• What is the primary role of the temporal lobe in auditory processing?

  Interpreting sounds
• The temporal lobe is essential for encoding and retrieving memories
• The temporal lobe is located below the occipital lobe.

  False
• What percentage of the brain's total mass does the cerebral cortex make up?

  40%
• The cerebral cortex is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as thought, memory, and language
• The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and processes sensory information.
• Which lobe of the cerebral cortex is located at the front of the brain and involved in planning?

  Frontal
• The temporal lobe is located below the parietal
• Order the lobes of the cerebral cortex from front to back:

  1️⃣ Frontal

  2️⃣ Parietal

  3️⃣ Temporal

  4️⃣ Occipital
• What is the role of the frontal lobe in motor control?

  Coordinates voluntary movements
• What is the primary function of the temporal lobe?

  Auditory processing
• The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain
• The frontal lobe is responsible for planning and decision-making.
• What is the frontal lobe's role in planning?

  Organizing and sequencing actions
• The frontal lobe shapes individual character and behavior
• What type of motor control is coordinated by the frontal lobe?

  Voluntary muscle movements
• The parietal lobe determines body position in space
• What role does the parietal lobe play in navigation?

  Guides movement and spatial awareness
• What does the temporal lobe interpret in auditory processing?

  Sounds and music
• Memory formation is a key function of the temporal lobe.
• The occipital lobe is located at the back of the brain
• What type of information is processed by the occipital lobe?

  Visual input
