4 lobes of brain
The occipital lobe is one of the four main lobes of the brain, the others being the frontal lobe, parietal lobe and the temporal lobe. The occipital lobe is at the posterior of the brain and is named for the occipital bone, which covers it. The term “occipital” comes from the Latin “ob” meaning behind, and “caput” meaning head. The occipital lobe’s main role is the processing of visual information.
The limbic lobe, often referred to as the “emotional brain,” is a network of structures located deep within the brain. It plays a crucial role in processing and regulating our emotions, memories, and motivations. The area is responsible for generating feelings like happiness, sadness, fear, and anger, as well as influencing behaviors such as eating, mating, and social interaction.
