3. Frontal Lobe
• You use your frontal lobe nearly everyday.
• You use it to make
– Plans and decisions
– thinking or studying for a test
• It is also where our personality is formed
• It is necessary to being able to
speak fluently(without fault) and
meaningfully.

4. • The Temporal Lobe mainly revolves around
hearing and selective listening.
• It is also key to being able to comprehend,or
understand meaningful speech.
• This lobe is special because it makes sense of all
the different sounds and pitches (different types
of sound) being transmitted from the sensory
receptors of the ears to the brain.

Temporal Lobe

5. • As a part of the cortex, it has a lot
of responsibilities and has to be able to process
sensory information within seconds.
• The parietal lobe is where information such as
taste, temperature and touch are integrated, or
processed.
Humans would not be able to feel
sensations of touch if the parietal lobe is
damaged.

Parietal Lobe

6. • Occipital lobe is important to being able to correctly
understand what your eyes are seeing.
• These lobes have to be very fast to process the rapid
information that our eyes are sending.
• Similar to how the temporal lobe makes sense of
auditory information, the occipital lobe makes sense of
visual information so that we are able to understand it.

Occipital Lobe
If our occipital lobe is impaired or injured we
would not be able to correctly process visual
signals, thus, resulting to visual confusion.

7. • It is one of the most identifiable parts of the brain due
to its unique shape and location.
• It is extremely important for being able to perform
everyday voluntary (done with purpose and intent)
tasks such as walking and writing.
• It is also essential to being able to stay balanced and
upright.

Cerebellum
Patients who have suffered from damaged
cerebellum often struggle with
keeping their balance and maintaining proper
muscle coordination.

8. • It is the cylindrical bundle of
nerve fibers and associated
tissue that is enclosed in the
spine and connects nearly all
parts of the body to the brain,
with which it forms the central
nervous system.
