Key Facts

Frontal lobe Location: in front of the parietal lobe (separated by central sulcus) and above and in front of temporal lobe (separated by lateral sulcus-Sylvian fissure)

Gyri: superior, middle and inferior frontal gyri, precentral gyrus, paracentral lobule

Function: control of voluntary movement, involved in attention, short term memory tasks, motivation, planning

 

Parietal lobe Location: above the occipital (separated by parieto-occipital sulcus) and behind the central sulcus

Gyri: postcentral gyrus, superior and inferior parietal lobules

Function: integrates proprioceptive and mechanoceptive stimuli, involved in language processing

 

Occipital lobe Location: behind parieto-occipital sulcus and behind temporal lobe (separated by temporo-occipital incisure)

Gyri: superior and inferior occipital gyri

Function: center for visual processing

Temporal lobe Location: beneath lateral sulcus

Gyri: superior, middle, inferior temporal gyri

Function: decoding sensory input into derived meanings for retention of visual memory and language comprehension

 

Insular lobe Location: beneath the cortex where temporal, parietal and frontal lobes meet

Gyri: long gyrus, short gyri

Function: processing and integration of taste sensation, visceral and pain sensation and vestibular functions

 

Limbic lobe Location: at the medial surface of each hemisphere and around the corpus calosum

Gyri: subcallosal, cingulate, parahippocampal gyri

Function: modulation of emotions, modulation of visceral and autonomic functions, learning, memory
