Document Summary
Parietal lobe-tactile, perceives stimuli related to sense of touch (ex. Pressure, temp, pain), right in front of the occipital lobe. Temporal lobe- deciphers auditory stimuli, speech, and memory, covered by auditory cortex. Frontal lobe-also called association lobe, houses motor cortex. Occipital lobe-receives and interprets visual stimuli, located in the back of the brain. Visual cortex-located in the occipital lobe, in charge of receiving and interpreting visual stimuli. Auditory cortex-thalamus redirects noise to this cortex, determines if noise is language or sound, involved in language. Motor cortex-toward the back of the frontal lobe, sends message to muscles about how and when to move. Prefrontal cortex-linked to personality expression and decision making. Somosensory cortex-behind the motor cortex, receives information about pain, temperature, and pressure. Broca"s area-connected to motor cortex in frontal lobe, controls expressive language production, converts words to muscle movement code, grammar; when this part of the brain is damaged it is characterized by halting speech, omitted conjunctions.
