Lobes Of The Brain Flashcards
What is the order of the brain lobes from left bottom clockwise
Temporal lobe, frontal lobe, precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, cerebellum
What are the functions of the frontal lobe
Motor, all sensory modalities, planning and control, aspects of memory & stops impulses
What are the functions of the temporal lobe
Auditory cortex, visual processing, emotions, face recognition
What are the functions of the precentral gyrus
Motor cortex
What are the functions of the postcentral gyrus
Primary somatosensory cortex
What are the functions of the partietal lobe
Somatosensory, proprioception (body sensations)
What are the functions for the occipital lobe
Visual cortex
What are the functions of the cerebellum (little brain)
Ballistic movement, aspects of memory
What lobe of the brain controls motor movements, sensory modalities, planning and controlling, aspects of memory and impulse control
The frontal lobe
What lobe of the brain controls the auditory cortex, visual processing, face recognising and emotions
The temporal lobe
What lobe of the brain primarily controls motor movements
The precentral gyrus
What lobe of the brain primarily controls the somatosensory cortex
The postcentral gyrus
What lobe of the brain controls the somatosensory cortex and proprioception (body sensations)
Parietal lobe
What lobe of the brain primarily controls the visual cortex
Occipital lobe
What lobe of the brain controls ballistic movements and aspects of memory
Corebellum (small brain)
