Document Summary
Your organization in brain lobes: the human brain is made up of 5 lobes (parts of the cerebral cortex with certain functions): 1: occipital lobe : related to vision, parietal lobe : related to somatoesthetic interpretation, temporal lobe : related to hearing and memory, frontal lobe : related to higher mental processes, verbal communication and voluntary motor control. Insula : related to memory and sensory integration (pain) and visceral: associated injuries and pathologies. Injury to different brain lobes causes various pathological consequences, studied by neurology and neuropsychology . Occipital lobe injury: visual agnosias (not recognizing objects or people by sight), anton syndrome and b lint syndrome , parietal lobe injury, constructive apraxias, gerstmann syndrome, asterognosia (inability to recognize objects by touch). Impaired executive functions (dysexecutive syndrome), movement disturbances, pseudodepression, and pseudopsychopathy. 2: the human brain is divided into various structures that arise from three main divisions during pregnancy and the development of the nervous system.
