Involved in complex cognitive functions such as decision making, problem-solving, control of purposeful behaviors, consciousness, and emotions.

Not traditionally classified as a lobe, but involved in motivation, emotion, learning, and memory. The limbic system includes parts of the frontal and temporal lobes.

Plays a role in diverse functions usually related to emotion and the perception of the body's internal states (interoception). Also involved in functions such as homeostasis, perception, motor control, self-awareness, cognitive functioning, and interpersonal experience.

Also not a lobe, but crucial for regulatory functions such as heart rate, breathing, sleeping, and eating.

Processes sensory information it receives from the outside world, mainly relating to spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch.

Highly responsible for visual processing, including visuospatial processing, distance, and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation.

Involved in the processing of auditory information and is also important for the processing of semantics in both speech and vision. The temporal lobe contains the hippocampus and is therefore involved in the formation of explicit long-term memory.
