The Lobes of the Cortex

This lobe controls responses to complex problems through reasoning, judgment, decision making and planning.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

This lobe receives and processes pain, pressure and touch from the body to create a map of the body's position in space and a map of body parts in relation to other body parts.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

This lobe evolved most recently and is the last to fully develop in young adulthood.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

This lobe receives and processes pain, pressure and touch from the body to create a map of the body's position in space and a map of body parts in relation to other body parts.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

Wernicke's area, which regulates the understanding of Language, is located in this lobe.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
• Temporal Lobe
• Frontal Lobe

This lobe plays a role in the interpretation of language and words.

• Occipital Lobe
• Parietal Lobe
