|
Forebrain
|
-largest and most highly developed
-consist of cerebrum and parts underneath it -source of intellectual activities |
|
|
|
Frontal Lobes
|
-lies directly behind the forehead
--problem solving, motor function, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control and sexual and social behavior |
|
|
|
