The Brain

Each of the four lobes has a specific function. The Frontal lobe’s primary functions include reasoning, planning, attention, problem solving and movement. The Temporal lobe is concerned with memory and verbal processing. The Parietal lobe controls perception of stimuli related to touch, pressure, temperature and pain. The Occipital lobe is responsible for multiple aspects of vision.
