Task One
Explain the functions of the following
The Temporal Lobe
The temporal lobe is placed in the base of the cortex behind the temples. It is one of the
four exceeding lobes in the cerebral cortex. The temporal lobe develops sensory
information. It controls select listening and the data collected from the ears. Sound and
speech is also created here. The temporal lobe conceives significant speech, including
sounds and pitches. Long term and visual memories are stored here. The temporal lobe
also determines objects and affiliates emotions.
The Frontal Lobe
The frontal lobe is based in the front, upper area of the cortex. Personality is created in the
frontal lobe. Everyday actions are carried out from this lobe. These include: …show more content…
Basic treatment will stabilize the affected. The following stages also focus on
stabilization and to anticipate further damage. Primary affliction cannot be transposed.
Patients with grave cases are treated in intensive care. The rehabilitation stage focuses on
returning the patient to normal life. Surgical treatment can be obtained if the case is
serious, it helps to regulate blood and oxygen flow to the brain and decreases pressure and
swelling.
Impact on the Individual
Each person personally affected by TBI will experience separate problems and ranging in
severity but all will experience some common issues. Communication problems, lack of
concentration, delayed responses. Some patients may also encounter damaged taste or
smell, headaches and fatigue. These are just some common problems that a patient with
TBI may encounter, the list is otherwise endless.
Impact on the Family
Much like individual cases, families will experience some common as well as separate
problems. Life is never the same after TBI. Financial difficulties, role swaps of family and
communication problems. Individual family members may also feel sad, stressed, guilty and
