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
- Movement
- Memory
- Speaking
- Emotions
- Problem Solving
- Judgement
- Social Interaction
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.
what is it?
Frontal lobe
ARTICLE
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
- Behavior
- Memory
- Hearing
- Understanding Language
- Visual Recognition
- Emotions
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.

temporal lobe
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
- Breathing
- Digestion
- Body Temperature
- Consciousness
- Heartbeat
- Swallowing
- Alertness/Sleep
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.

Quiz
parietal lobe
- Sensation
- Reading
- Knowing right from left
- Body orientation
- Sensory perception
- Location awareness
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.
what is it?
Article
parietal lobe
- 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

Quiz
occipital lobe
- Vision
- Visual reception
- Visual interpretation
- Distance perception
- Depth perception
- Face recognation
- Memory formation
- Color determination
- Object recognition
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.
what is it?
Article
occipital lobe
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
