|
Frontal Lobe Function |
-voluntary movement (primary motor cortex/ precentral gyrus), intellect, orientation -Broca's area (typically in L hemisphere), speech, concentration -personality, temper, judgment, reasoning, behavior, self-awareness, executive function |
|
|
Frontal Lobe Impairment |
-contralateral weakness -perseveration, inattention -personality changes, antisocial behavior -impaired concentration, apathy -Broca's aphasia (expression deficits) -delayed or poor initiation -emotional liability |
|
|
Parietal Lobe Function |
-associated w/ sensation of touch, kinesthesia, perception of vibration, temperature -receives info from other areas of the brain regarding hearing, vision, motor, sensory, and memory -provides meaning for objects -interprets language and words -spatial and visual perception |
|
|
Parietal Lobe Impairment |
-dominant hemisphere (typically L): agraphia, alexia, agnosia -non-dominant hemisphere (typically R): dressing apraxia, constructional apraxia, anosognosia -contralateral sensory deficits -impaired language comprehension -impaired taste |
|
|
Temporal Lobe Function |
-primary auditory processing and olfaction -Wernicke's area (typically L): ability to understand and produce meaningful speech, verbal and general memory, assists w/ understanding language -the rear of the temporal lobe enables humans to interpret other peoples' emotions and reactions |
|
|
Temporal Lobe Deficit |
-learning deficits -Wernicke's aphasia (receptive deficits) -antisocial, aggressive behaviors -difficulty w/ facial recognition -difficulty w/ memory, memory loss -inability to categorize objects |
|
|
Occiptial Lobe Function |
-main processing center for visual information -processes visual information regarding colors, light, and shapes -judgment of distance, seeing in three dimensions |
|
|
Occipital Lobe Impairment |
-homonymous hmianopsia -impaired extraocular muscle movement and visual deficits -impaired color recognition -reading and writing impairment -cortical blindness with bilateral lobe involvement |
