What are the four lobes of the cerebral cortex and their functions?
0:27
The frontal lobe, located behind the forehead, controls executive functions like planning, decision-making, personality, and voluntary movement through the motor cortex. The parietal lobe, behind the frontal lobe, processes sensory information like touch, temperature, and pain through the somatosensory cortex. The temporal lobe, above the ears, processes auditory information and is involved in memory and language comprehension through Wernicke's area. The occipital lobe, at the back of the head, processes visual information.
