Question 1

What are the different lobes of the brain and their function?

1. Frontal Lobe

Answer 1

Frontal Lobe Location: Front of the brain, behind the forehead

Functions:
Motor controls voluntary movements (Via the primary motor cortex)

Cognition and Decision-Making: Involved in planning, problem solving, and decision making.

Language Production: Includes Broca’s area (Speech production, primarily in the left hemisphere.)

Personality and Behavior: Regulates emotional expression, social behaviour and impulse control.

There are different areas within frontal lobe.

Areas of frontal lobe: Primary motor cortex, Premotor Cortex, Prefrontal Cortex, Broca’s Area

Question 2

What are the different lobes of the brain and their function?

2. Parietal Lobe

Answer 2

Location: Upper middle part of the brain behind the frontal lobe

Functions:
Sensory processing, tactile sensation like touch pain, pressure and temperature.

Special awareness, helps in understanding of special relationships of objects and navigation.

Integration of Sensory Input: Combines sensory data for perception and recognition.
