Term | Definition |
---|---|
frontal lobe | forms the anterior portion of each cerebral hemisphere; involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior. |
parietal lobe | posterior to the frontal lobe and separated from it by the central sulcus; processes sensory and visual information |
temporal lobe | lies below the frontal and parietal lobes and is separated from them by the lateral sulcus; holds the primary auditory cortex. which receives sensory information from the ears |
occipital lobe | forms the posterior portion of each cerebral hemisphere and is separated from the cerebellum by a shelf-like extension of dura mater. Visual processing lobe The boundary between the occipital lobe and the parietal and temporal lobes is not distinct |
insula | located deep within the lateral sulcus and is covered by parts of the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes; believed to process convergent information to produce an emotionally relevant context for sensory experience. |
