The lobes of the brainBy: Abel De la Trinidad

Lobes of the brainThe average human brain weights about

1,4oo grams (3lb)Dived down the middle lengthwise into two

halves called the cerebral hemispheres Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into the

FOUR lobes.

The four lobes Frontal lobe

Temporal lobe

Occipital lobe

Parietal lobe

Frontal lobeThe frontal lobes are one of the four main

lobes or regions of the cerebral cortex.The frontal lobe is located in front of the

central sulcus of the brain. Its also aware if its prefrontal formation that

is made within the its process

What it does?The prefrontal cortex is responsible for

personality expression and the planning of complex cognitive behaviors

They are positioned at the front most region of the cerebral cortex and are involved in movement, decision-making, problem solving, and planning.

damagefrontal function”, as the frontal lobes

represent the largest part of the brain. Damage to the these lobes has potential to

impact wide ranging aspects of cognition and behavioral.

Damage happens as a result of trauma as, in addition to whatever identifiable specific focal injury may occur

Temporal lobeThe temporal lobes process emotions, fight-

or-flight reactions, and are important for short-term memory

Some symptoms of a temporal lobe seizure may be related to these functionshaving odd feelings

such as euphoria, fear, panic.

The functionDuring a temporal lobe seizure, you may

remain partially consciousYou also may make repetitive movements of

your lips and hands. temporal lobe seizure is more intense, you

may be unresponsive. located in front of the occipital lobe and

containing the sensory center of hearing in the brain.

Causes of damagesDamage to the temporal lobe most often

occurs as a result of vehicle crashes.When damage occurs to these areas of the

brain, patients may experience disturbance of auditory sensation and perception.

An inability to pay attention to what they see or hear, impaired ability to comprehend language.

Occipital lobeThe occipital lobe is the visual processing

center of the brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex.

The occipital lobe is important to being able to correctly understand what your eyes are seeing.

The occipital lobe makes sense of visual information so that we are able to understand it

About itthe most posterior lobe of each cerebral

hemisphere,

Located behind the parietal and temporal lobes

The rearmost lobe of each cerebral hemisphere, containing the main visual centers of the brain

Injuries that can happen…If occipital lobe is damaged, it can cause

hallucinations and illusions through your eyes.

Objects may appear either smaller or larger to you

You may be unable to detect certain movements of objects.

Words become blurry and unreadable when your occipital lobe is damaged.

Parietal lobeThe parietal lobes can be divided into two

functional regionsThe first function integrates sensory

information to form a single perception The second function constructs a spatial

coordinate system to represent the world around us

Damage to the right parietal lobe can result in neglecting part of the body

What is it??The parietal lobe is a part of the brain

positioned above (superior to) the occipital lobe and behind (posterior to) the frontal lobe.

Its located below the central sulcus.

injuryA parietal lobe injury can affect both sensory

function and perception, with the precise symptoms varying greatly depending on the extent of the brain damage as well as the type of injury sustained

loss of coordination and an inability to process sensory information

the patient may be partially or completely unaware of his own body
