Decent Essays

There are many important parts in the human brain such as the cerebellum and the hind brain, but the specific part that this essay will be focused on is the brain's cortex. The brain is made up of layers and the cortex is the outer layer of the brain. If one were to look at a human brain the layer of wrinkles covering the brain would be the cortex. The cortex is not just wrinkles on the brain, it is also responsible for controlling our senses and several movements of our body. However, there are several parts to the cortex dedicated to a certain task, these parts of the cortex are called lobes. One of the important lobes in the human brain cortex is the parietal lobes. The parietal lobes are located on the top of a regular human brain which makes it the center of the cortex. Moreover, according to ciccarelli and white's textbook (2010), the somato-sensory cortex, which is located in the parietal lobes, is responsible for recognizing the information ghathered through body receptors in order to identify the temperature of something, the sensory details of what is touched, and to control the body position of humans. Therefore, the parietal lobes are an important part of the brain because if it ever got damaged it could leave a person without being able …show more content…

The frontal lobes which as its name indicates are located in the front of the brain's cortex and is responsible for the most complex and tasking functions of the brain. The frontal lobes contain several parts compared to the other lobes in the cortex which includes the prefrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, and the orbitofrontal prefrontal cortex, all of which have a strong relationship with the limbic system according to ciccarelli and white (2010). The functions of the frontal lobes are mostly dedicated to complex decision making, storing and accessing memories and also affects personality, language, and making
