  • The frontal lobes are located at the front of the brain, behind the forehead.
    Their main functions are associated with higher cognitive functions, including problem-solving, decision-making, attention, intelligence, and voluntary behaviors.
  • The temporal lobes are located on both sides of the brain, near the temples of the head, hence the name temporal lobes.
    The main functions of these lobes include understanding, language, memory acquisition, face recognition, object recognition, perception, and auditory information processing.
  • The parietal lobe is located at the top of the brain, between the frontal and occipital lobes, and above the temporal lobes
    The parietal lobe is essential for integrating information from the body’s senses to allow us to build a coherent picture of the world around us.
    These lobes allow us to perceive our bodies through somatosensory information (e.g., through touch, pressure, and temperature). It can also help with visuospatial processing, reading, and number representations (mathematics).
  • The occipital lobes are located at the back of the brain behind the temporal and parietal lobes and below the occipital bone of the skull
    The occipital lobes receive sensory information from the eyes’ retinas, which is then encoded into different visual data. Some of the functions of the occipital lobes include being able to assess the size, depth, and distance, determine color information, object and facial recognition, and mapping the visual world.
  • The cerebellum is located beneath the cerebrum and is responsible for coordinating movement, balance, posture, speech, and other motor activities. The cerebellum receives input from various areas of the cortex and sends output signals to the muscles via the spinal cord.
