Function of temporal lobes
hearing and language

receipt of auditory info
associative auditory cortex function - temporal
interpretation of auditory
Occipital lobe function
visual processing
primary visual cortex function - occipital
receipt of visual info
distinguish intrnsity of light/ object shape/size

interpretation of visual info
frontal lobe function
social / cognition in interior part
motor function in posterior part
Primary motor cortex function - frontal
voluntary motor movement
supplementary motor cortex
