learning objectives
by the end of the presentation, students will be able to...
- differentiate the functions of the brain
- identify what each brain function controls
- locate where each brain function is present
Frontal lobe
what is it?
what does it control?
The frontal fobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions of the brain. It's responsible for body movements and controls most of your abilities. Read the article below to learn more.
- Movement
- Memory
- Speaking
- Emotions
- Problem Solving
- Judgement
- Social Interaction
ARTICLE
frontal lobe
Fun facts
Watch this video for an in-depth explanation
- The lobes don't fully mature until age 25
- They're the largest lobes in the human brain
- They're the most common area of injury
- Sits behind your nasal cavity
- Damage to parts of the frontal lobe can lead to personality changes
- Takes up 35%-38.5% of your brain

temporal lobe
what is it?
what does it control?
The temporal lobe is responsible for processing and understanding information. It is also responsible for storing and retrieving memories. Read the article below for more information.
- Behavior
- Memory
- Hearing
- Understanding Language
- Visual Recognition
- Emotions
Article
temporal lobe
fun facts
Watch this video for an in-depth explanation
- Named after its proximity to the temples
- Second largest lobe
- Sits behind the ears
- The temporal lobe has left and right sides
- Takes up about 20% of your brain
- Can be affected by many diseases and disorders

brain stem
what does it control?
what is it?
The brain stem sends messages to the rest of your body. The messages help regulate your breathing and heart rate. Read the artical below to learn more.
- Breathing
- Digestion
- Body Temperature
- Consciousness
- Heartbeat
- Swallowing
- Alertness/Sleep
Article
brain stem
fun facts
Watch this video for an in-depth explanation
- Connects your brain to your spinal cord
- Damage is irreversible
- Takes up 2.6% of the brain
- Contains unique nerve fibers

parietal lobe
what is it?
what does it control?
The parietal lobe is responsible for sensory perception and integration. It interprets input from other areas of the body. Read the article below to learn more.
- Sensation
- Reading
- Knowing right from left
- Body orientation
- Sensory perception
- Location awareness
Article
parietal lobe
fun facts
Watch this video for an in-depth explanation
- Takes up 19% of the brain
- Located underneath the crown of the skull
- Develops at the age of 5
- Damage to the right side of the lobe can cause visuo-spacial deflicts
- Damage to the left side of the lobe can disrupt someone's ability to understand written or spoken language

occipital lobe
what is it?
what does it control?
The occipital lobe is responsible for visual perception. It is also responsible for memory formation and object recognition. Read the article below to learn more.
- Vision
- Visual reception
- Visual interpretation
- Distance perception
- Depth perception
- Face recognation
- Memory formation
- Color determination
- Object recognition
Article
occipital lobe
fun facts
Watch this video for an in-depth explanation
- The smallest of the lobes
- The rear-most of the lobes
- Takes up 10%-18% of the brain
- It's still active in those who are blind
- Damage can cause vision impairments
