Lobes of the Brain

Brain

• The brain is divided, into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital.

Multiple Choice

How many lobes of the brain are there?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

Frontal Lobe

• The frontal lobe is generally where higher executive functions including emotional regulation, planning, reasoning and problem solving occur

• The frontal lobe is usually not fully developed until the age of 25

Parietal Lobe

• The parietal lobe is behind the frontal lobe, separated by the central sulcus. Areas in the parietal lobe are responsible for integrating sensory information, including touch, temperature, pressure and pain.

Temporal Lobe

• The temporal lobe also contains regions dedicated to processing sensory information, particularly important for hearing, recognizing language, and forming memories. 

Occipital Lobe
