What are the four parts of the forebrain?
frontal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe
Where is the frontal lobe located?
in front of the central sulcus
What are the functions of the frontal lobe?
reasoning, planning, speech production, and movement (motor cortex), emotions, and problem solving
Where is the occipital lobe located?
located at the back of the brain behind the parietal and temporal lobe
What is the function of the occipital lobe?
many aspects of vision
Where is the central sulcus located?
a grove that separates the frontal lobe from the rest of the brain (in between the frontal and parietal lobe)
What is the most anterior part of the brian?
the frontal lobe

speech production
Where is the Broca’s area located?
in the frontal lobe
What lobe is the primary motor cortex?
The frontal lobe
What lobe is the primary visual cortex?
occipital lobe
What is the lateral fissure?
sits below the frontal lobe
What are the two landmarks of the cortex?
The lateral fissure and central sulcus
Where is the parietal lobe located?
behind the central sulcus (behind the frontal lobe)
What is the function of the parietal lobe?
concerned with the perception of stimuli associated with temperature, pressure, and pain
Where is the temporal lobe located?
below the lateral fissure
What lobe is called the “primary somatosensory cortex”?
parietal lobe
What is the function of the temporal lobe?
recognition of auditory stimuli (hearing) and memory (hippocampus)
What lobe is also called the primary auditory cortex?
temporal lobe
