Functions of Brain

Cerebrum

  • Function: Responsible for higher brain functions such as thought, action, and coordination of movement.

  • Structure: Divided into two hemispheres (left and right) and four lobes:

    • Frontal Lobe:

      • Involved in reasoning, planning, problem-solving, emotions, and voluntary movement.

    • Parietal Lobe:

      • Processes sensory information related to touch, temperature, pain, and spatial orientation.

    • Temporal Lobe:

      • Involved in processing auditory information and is important for memory and emotion.

    • Occipital Lobe:

      • Responsible for visual processing.

Cerebellum

  • Function: Important for coordination, balance, and fine motor control.

  • Role: Ensures smooth and voluntary movements by integrating sensory input and motor commands, helps maintain posture and equilibrium.
