brain anatomy and functions

frontal lobe

part of cerebrum - it helps control voluntary movement, ecpression, and language. cognition planning, and is the control center for personality, behavior and emotion.

parietal lobe

part of cerebrum, responsible for sensory perception and integration; interprets input from other areas of the body such as tast, hearing, sight, touch, and smell

temporal lobe

part of cerebrum, processes pain and auditory stimuli, emotions, and memories. it allows you to understand what uou hear, retain visual memories and process and remember emotions

occipital lobe

part of cerebrum, smallest love of brain, responsible for percieving, processing and remembering visual stimuli; allows to see color, size, depth, distance, and recognize faces and objects

cerebellum

known as “little brain”, involved in motor control, select cognitive activities, contains most neurons in brain, only about 10% of brain overall weight

brainstem

includes midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata,; involved in vision, hearing, motor control, alterness, tempurature regulation, breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure

occipital lobe

muscle coordination

medulla oblongata

movement

motor cortex; back (posterior) of frontal lobe

smell

olfactory bulbs of the lymbic system; signals also travel to hypothalamus
