10 Structure of the Cerebrum, Frontal, Parietal, and Occipital Lobes

The cerebrum can be divided into lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal. The frontal lobe regulates voluntary and goal-directed movements, self-control, judgement, social behaviour, and memory. The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory information, while the occipital lobe integrates visual information. The temporal lobe is involved in auditory processing, verbal memory, and language functions.

 

  • Temporal Lobe (pink): Roll thin, long rolls of pink clay and shape them ‘curving’ into temporal lobes on the lateral sides of the model, covering the insula on both sides.
  • Frontal, Parietal, and Occipital Lobes (pink): Roll thin, long rolls of pink clay and place them in a ‘curving’ manner to form the frontal, parietal and occipital lobes in both hemispheres, covering as much of the underlying structures as possible.
