![]() Temporal lobe. The sides of the brain, these temporal lobes are involved in memory, speech, and sense of smell. Occipital lobe. The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision. ![]() The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. Parietal lobe. The middle part of the brain, the parietal lobe helps a person to identify objects and understand spatial relationships (where one's body is compared to objects around the person). Very BRIEF summary of functions of some of the areas mentioned above Section Function Spinal Cord Input-output of sensory and motor information to and from the CNS-PNS Medulla Autonomic function (breathing, heart rate, etc. Spinal cord. A large bundle of nerve fibers located in the back that extends from the base of the brain to the lower back, the spinal cord carries messages to and from the brain and the rest of the body.įrontal lobe. The largest section of the brain located in the front of the head, the frontal lobe is involved in judgment, decision-making, some language functions, personality characteristics, and movement. ![]() Medulla. The lowest part of the brainstem, the medulla is the most vital part of the entire brain and contains important control centers for the heart and lungs. When youre moving around, your brain needs to coordinate information from your eyes and the balance system in your inner ear, as well as controlling your. Pons. A deep part of the brain, located in the brainstem, the pons contains many of the control areas for eye and face movements. More specifically, other parts of the brain include the following: Because of this, an injury to the pons may impact both sensory function and movement. Its function is to coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium. This includes hearing and taste, as well as balance. Functions of this area include: movement of the eyes and mouth, relaying sensory messages (such as, hot, pain, or loud), hunger, respirations, consciousness, cardiac function, body temperature, involuntary muscle movements, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.Ĭerebellum. The cerebellum (back of brain) is located at the back of the head. ![]() Functions of the cerebrum include: initiation of movement, coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, hearing, speech and language, judgment, reasoning, problem solving, emotions, and learning.īrainstem. The brainstem (middle of brain) includes the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla. Damage: The frontal lobes are the most common area for damage in the brain. The brain can be divided into the cerebrum, brainstem, and cerebellum:Ĭerebrum. The cerebrum (front of brain) is composed of the right and left hemispheres. brain stem: A primitive part of the brain that connects the brain to the spinal cord, the brain stem controls functions basic to survival, such as heart. Function: The frontal lobe is responsible for speech & language production, motor skills, understanding & reacting to the feelings of others, forming personality, maintaining a sense of motivation, and managing attention.
