Eli5: What are the functions of different parts of the brain?
In: Biology
Back part (occipital lobes) processes vision, back middle part (parietal lobes) processes touch/nerve impulses, front middle part (temporal lobes) processes auditory information and controls speech processing along with memory, front part (frontal lobe) is your personality and executive functioning/thinking. Then you have your reptile brain (brain stem, cerebellum, thalamus, hypothalamus) controls balance/movement, autonomic functions (heart, breathing, swallowing your spit while you sleep), fight or flight, etc.
Will gladly take correction if I’m wrong on any of these.
