Identify the lobes of the cerebral cortex and note some functions that are controlled in each lobe.
What will be an ideal response?
The cerebral cortex is divided into four different lobes, including the occipital, parietal, frontal, and temporal lobes. The visual cortices that control our sense of sight are located in the occipital lobe. The somatosensory cortex which processes touch, pain, and temperature sensations is found in the parietal lobe. The auditory cortices, which regulate our sense of hearing, are found in the temporal lobe. The frontal lobes contain the motor cortices, which control voluntary movements in each part of the body.(Though not contained in the text, instructors may wish to give credit for students identifying the location of the olfactory and gustatory cortices if that information is covered in course presentations.)
