What Part Of The Brain Is Responsible For What? {Post #2.}

In order to get a better understand of what I'm looking for in my research, I wanted to know what part of the brain is responsible for what? Because in order to find out how your thought process works, you need to know how the brain works first.
There are eight different parts of the human brain.
1.) The Frontal Lobe- One of the four major divisions of the cerebral cortex. This part of the brain regulates decision making, problem solving, control of purposeful behaviors, consciousness, & emotions.


2.) The Primary Motor Cortex- This is patr of the frontal lobe & is responsible for regulating voluntary movements.


3.) The Primary Sensory Cortex- This is part of the pariental lobe & processes sensory information recieved from the body.


4.) The Parietal Lobe- One of four major divisions of the cerebral cortex. This lobe recieves & processes sensory information from the body. This is also where letters from words & words combine into thoughts.


5.) The Temporal Lobe- One of four major divisions of the cerebral cortex. This part of the brainregulates memory, emotions, hearing, language, & learning.


6.) The Occipital Lobe- One of four major divisions of the cerebral cortex. This lobe prosesses information related to vision.


7.) The Cerebellum- This regulates the initation & timing of movement & is important for maintaining balance & posture. This also helps modulate the force, steadiness, & range of movement.


8.) The Brain Stem- This connects the brain & the spinal cord. it controls many basic functions including heart rate, breathing, eating, & sleeping.


The brain is reaponsible for all of your body actions, but I think the five main parts of the brain that I would have to study would be:
1.) The Frontal Lobe is responsible for your decision making.
2.) The Primary Motor Cortex is responsible for your regulating voluntary movements.
3.) The Temporal Lobe is responsible for your hearing & learning.
4.) The Occipital Lobe is responsible for your vision.
5.) The Cerebellum is responsible for maintaining balance & posture. It also helpes with you steadiness & range of movement.
