Broca’s area is located in the posterior section of the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere. Broca’s studies helped prove that people who had language deficits‚ especially in speaking resulted in an issue with Broca’s area. While Broca’s area helps with speech production‚ Wernicke’s area helps with speech comprehension. Wernicke’s area is named after Carl Wernicke‚ a German neurologist. The area is found in the posterior portion of the left temporal lobe. It was also discovered that with a defect in the

All of these lobes are in charge of their own set of tasks and functions (Jeanty‚ 2009). The frontal lobe is in charge of planning‚ problem solving‚ personality organizing‚ selective attention‚ and a variety of other “higher cognitive functions” (Johnson Jr.‚ 2009). The temporal lobe consists of two sections‚ one on each side of the brain. The temporal love controls a

various frontal lobe processes (Stuss‚ Alexander‚ Shallice‚ Picton‚ Binns‚ Macdonald‚ Borowiec & Douglas‚ 2005). Stuss et al (2005) showed that lesions in the superior medial frontal lobes were associated with slow reaction times and with failure to decrease reaction time after a warning signal. Furthermore‚ lesions in the right lateral frontal lobe prevented the decrease in reaction time with increasing FP that was seen in healthy subjects and in patients with lesions elsewhere in the frontal lobes

Four Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex The Cerebral Cortex is what separates humans from the rest of the world’s species. Our Cerebral Cortex is larger in size‚ as well as a much greater amount of convolutions than other species. The Cerebral Cortex is divided up in too four major parts‚ Frontal Lobe‚ Parietal Lobe‚ Occipital Lobe‚ and the Temporal Lobe. Frontal Lobe located in front directly behind the forehead‚ it synchronizes motor skills‚ analytical skills‚ cognitive skill emotional expression‚ recall

Importantly for schizophrenia‚ dopamine appears to play a big role in the activity in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. The regions that play essential roles in the cognitive‚ perceptual‚ and emotional functions that are often abnormal in schizophrenia. Supporting the idea that abnormalities of dopamine may be playing a role in schizophrenia

Twenty Parts of the Brain and Their Functions 1. Pons A structure of the brain stem that is involved in sleeping‚ waking‚ and dreaming. 2. Medulla A structure of the brain stem that is responsible for automatic bodily functions‚ such as breathing and heart rate. 3. Reticular Activating System The RAS screens incoming information and arouses the cortex when something happens that requires their attention. 4. Cerebellum The cerebellum functions as a "lesser brain" It contributes

In the parietal lobe on the other hand‚ positioned posterior to the frontal lobe‚ its responsible for the integrating sensory information from the various parts of the body. In other words‚ it helps us process touch and taste. Next is the occipital lobe‚ located posterior to the temporal and parietal lobes. This is the brain’s

cortex has four lobes – the frontal lobe‚ the parietal lobe‚ temporal lobe‚ and the occipital lobe (“Brain Structures and their Functions‚” n.d.; “Frontal Lobe - The Brain Made Simple‚” n.d.). The frontal lobe performs executive functions. These functions include initiation‚ inhibition‚ purposive action‚ volition‚ planning‚ reasoning‚ problem solving‚ parts of speech‚ flexibility‚ self-monitoring and self-regulation. It is used in making decisions and thinking. The frontal lobes are needed to complete

different lobes. The temporal‚ frontal‚ parietal‚ and occipital lobes control a variety of cognitive functions (Santrock‚ 2013). The brain controls simple functions such as fine and gross motor skills‚ vision‚ and memory. For instance the frontal lobes are involved in the voluntary movement‚ thinking‚ personality‚ and intentionality or purpose. The occipital lobes are responsible for vision. The temporal lobes are responsible for hearing‚ language processing and memory. The parietal lobes plays role
