Frontal Lobe: Brain Information

In a conversation with a client recently they were unsure of how the brain functions in respect to learning processes. Therefore, below I am listing the four areas of the brain and how it functions. For brain health keep in mind water is especially important in brain health along with Omega 3 Fatty Acids.

Frontal Lobe: This area of the brain is associated with higher mental functions (such as strategic attention, reasoning, and innovative thinking (or frequency of ideas, and social functioning.)

Parietal Lobe: This are is associated with sensory input from the skin and muscles, body awareness.

Temporal Lobe: This area is associated with short-term memory, equilibrium, and input from hearing.

Occipital Lobe: This area is associated with sight and image processing.
