Name the four lobes of the cerebral cortex. What functions do they perform?
उत्तर
The four lobes of the cerebral cortex are the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. Their functions are as follows:
-
Frontal lobe − It is responsible for cognitive functions such as attention, thinking, memory, reasoning, and learning. It also inhibits the autonomic and emotional responses.
-
Parietal lobe − It is mainly concerned with cutaneous sensations and their coordination with visual and auditory sensations.
-
Temporal lobe − It processes auditory information.
-
It also helps in the understanding of speech and written language and memorising symbolic sounds and words.
-
Occipital lobe − It interprets visual impulses, memorises visual stimuli, and helps in colour visual orientation.
