The Cerebrum and Its Lobes

Frontal Lobe

🧠The frontal lobe is responsible for cognition and language, and it also controls motor function.

Temporal Lobe

The temporal lobe is involved in understanding language and in processing sensory input.

Parietal Lobe

The parietal lobe manages sensory perception and supports spatial orientation.
