Major Sections of the Brain

Again, for the purpose of my own studying, I will type brief, point-form notes that are relevant to the topic.

Frontal Lobe - Allows reason and planning - Initiates voluntary movements - Modulates emotions and is involved in the making of personality - Capable of turning thoughts into words
Parietal Lobe - Allows sensory perception - Takes in auditory and visual signals and associates them with memory - Allows understanding of written and verbal language
Temporal Lobe - Distinguishes volume and frequency - Involved in forming and calling memory - Right: visual memory; left: verbal memory - Upper portion allows understanding of words
Occipital Lobe - Decodes visual information - Analyzes form, colour and movement - Allows you to recognize and identify objects
