What Does The Brain Do? (Lobes and Regions)

This What Does the Brain Do? (Lobes And Regions) resource explains what different parts of the human brain are responsible for. Understanding how your brain works can give some helpful context for the other things you will learn and do in your therapy.

Overview

The brain is the central organ of the body’s nervous system and is essential for processes such as perception, movement, language, and memory. This illustrated handout provides a concise summary of the cerebral cortex, outlining the distinct functions of its four lobes - frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital. It also introduces other important brain structures, including the limbic system, which plays a key role in emotional processing and memory.
