What are the different structures of the brain and what are their functions?
The cerebrum forms the bulk of the brain and is divided into two hemispheres, separated by a groove called the great longitudinal fissure. The two sides are joined by the corpus callosum at the bottom of the brain, and it delivers messages from one side of the brain to the other. The cerebrum is also divided into lobes, or pairs. They are the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes. Each lobe serves very specific functions. The frontal lobe contains the primary motor cortex that helps produce movement of the body. The frontal lobe also plays an important role in memory, concentration and personality. The occipital lobe contributes to vision and light and helps us to recognize objects. The temporal lobe enables us to hear sounds and give meaning to those sounds. The temporal lobe is also responsible for memory. The parietal lobe interprets sensory signals from other parts of the brain, such as vision, motor skills, memory and hearing. The cerebellum is located at the very back o
