1. Cerebrum The LARGEST part of the brain.
Associated with higher brain function, such as thought and action.
The surface of the cerebrum -- the cerebral cortex -- is composed of six thin layers of neurons, which sit on top of a large collection of white matter pathways. 

2. Cerebrum
Divided into four lobes:
Frontal
Temporal
Partial
Occipital

3. Frontal Lobe
Location: The forward most part of the brain (Forehead) anterior to the parietal lobe.

4. Functions Important for voluntary movement Planning, Parts of speech,
Emotions,
Reasoning
Problem solving.
Most significant lobe for personality and intelligence (:

5. What could go wrong? Strokes result from frontal lobe damage
Concussions
Alzheimer's Disease
Frontal lobe epilepsy

6. Temporal Lobe
Location: Side of head above ears, inferior to the frontal and parietal lobe.
Split into three gyrus
the Superior Temporal Gyrus
the Middle Temporal Gyrus
and the Inferior Temporal Gyrus.

7. Functions
Memory
Hearing
Speech
Behavior
Vision

8. What could go wrong?
Difficulty in understanding spoken words (Wernicke's Aphasia)
Short-term memory loss. 
Right lobe damage can cause persistent talking
Increased aggressive behavior

9. Parietal Lobe
Location: Posterior to the Frontal Lobe and Superior to the Temporal Lobe.
2 main sections of the Parietal Lobe
Postcentral gyrus: makes up primary somatosensory cortex which is responsible for the sense of touch
Posterior Parietal cortex : Divides into 4 sections

10. Posterior Parietal Cortex
Divides into 4 parts - All aid in the spacial mapping of an area and distances. Controls eye and hand movement , discovered in the 90’s after the study of monkeys.
LIP Lateral Intraparietal
VIP Ventral Intraparietal
MIP Medial Intraparietal
AIP Anterior Intraparietal

11. Problems?
Lesions on the left Parietal Lobe= Gerstmann's syndrome which causes inability to write, inability to comprehend mathematics
Lesions on both hemispheres of the Parietal Lobe, Balint's syndrome, causes inability to recognize spacial surroundings, difficult fixating eyes

12. Occipital Lobe
Location: Posterior portion of the brain; posterior to the temporal lobe and inferior to the parietal lobe.

13. Function
- Vision
includes: vision perception and color recognition

14. Problems Associated With Occipital Lobe
Occipital Lobe Epilepsy
Defects in vision
Difficulty with locating objects in environment
Difficulty with identifying colors
Visual illusions - inaccurately seeing objects
Word blindness – (dyslexia)

15. Hermann Munk studied the occipital lobe
connected vision with occipital lobe
damage to the occipital lobe causes blindness.
both eyes connected to left and right hemisphere of brain.

16. Fun Facts!
The cortex is heavily convoluted, so that if you were to spread it out, it would actually take up about 2 1/2 square feet
It includes about 10 billion neurons, with about 50 trillion synapse
