Lobes of the Brain

The brain is divided, into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital.

The frontal lobe is generally where higher executive functions including emotional regulation, planning, reasoning and problem solving occur

The frontal lobe is usually not fully developed until the age of 25

The parietal lobe is behind the frontal lobe, separated by the central sulcus. Areas in the parietal lobe are responsible for integrating sensory information, including touch, temperature, pressure and pain. 

The temporal lobe also contains regions dedicated to processing sensory information, particularly important for hearing, recognizing language, and forming memories. 

The occipital lobe is where visual processing takes place.
