functional anatomy of the brain

most superior part of the brain, enclose and obscure the brain stem

located in the parietal lobe, impulses from sensory receptors are localized and interpreted in this part of the brain (allows you to recognize pain, coldness, or a light touch)

the visual area is located in the occipital lobe

the auditory area is in the temporal lobe

the primary motor area that allows us to consciously move our skeletal muscles

damage to this area causes inability to speak properly

located at the junction of the temporal, parietal, and occipital lobes; allows us to sound out words

connects the cerebral hemispheres
