Each lobe of the cerebral cortex has specific functions. For example, the frontal lobe is involved in executive functions and motor control, while the temporal lobe is involved in auditory processing and memory.
It also plays a role in controlling the release of hormones from the pituitary gland.
The amygdala plays a key role in processing emotions, especially fear and aggression.
The parietal lobe processes sensory information from touch, pressure, temperature, pain, and proprioception (awareness of body position).
