The Outside of the Brain

Frontal Lobe

Located at the front of the brain, is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the mammalian brain. The frontal lobe plays a large role in voluntary movement. It houses the primary motor cortex which regulates activities like walking. The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to project future consequences resulting from current actions, the choice between good and bad actions (or better and best) (also known as conscience), the override and suppression of socially unacceptable responses, and the determination of similarities and differences between things or events.

silvan fissure

The Sylvian fissure, also known as the lateral sulcus, separates the frontal and parietal lobes superiorly from the temporal lobe inferiorly. The insular cortex is located immediately internal to the Sylvian fissure.

central sulcus

The central sulcus is a sulcus, or fold, in the cerebral cortex in the brains of vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando. It is sometimes confused with the medial longitudinal fissure. The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.

Occipital Lobe

The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex.

Temporal Lobe

The occipital lobe is the visual processing center of the mammalian brain containing most of the anatomical region of the visual cortex.

Olfactory bulb

The olfactory bulb (bulbus olfactorius) is a neural structure of the vertebrate forebrain involved in olfaction, or the sense of smell. Flow of olfactory information from receptors to glomeruli layer.-----

Parietal Lobe

The parietal lobe is positioned above the occipital lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information among various modalities, including spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch (mechanoreception) in the somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the postcentral gyrus,[1] and the dorsal stream of the visual system. The major sensory inputs from the skin (touch, temperature, and pain receptors), relay through the thalamus to the parietal lobe.

Postcentral gyrus

The postcentral gyrus is the primary sensory area and it preceives pain, touch, pressure, and temperature. The post central gyrus is in the parietal lobe and is posteroir to the central sulcus.

Presental gyrus

primary motor area were pyrimadal nerve tracts originate It is located anterior to the central sulcus of the cerebrum.in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum of the forebrain.

Brainstem

the central trunk of the mammalian brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, and continuing downward to form the spinal cord.

cerebellum

the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.
