Area
What is somatosensory area
This area is located in the middle frontal gyrus
What is the frontal eye field
This area is responsible for motor planning, postural control and motor control of ocular muscles
Premotor/secondary motor (M2)
A lesion here would result in apraxia or impaired motor planning
Primary motor Area (M1)
The area highlighted in green
Parietal Lobe
Brodmann area 44 and 45
Broca's area
This area is located within the superior temporal gyrus
Primary auditory area (A1)
Gustatory Area
This area processes taste and sensation of tongue
Sensory association area (S2)
A lesion in this area would result in astereognosis or inability to identify an object by touch alone
The area highlighted in red
The temporal lobe
Brodmann's area 17
Primary visual cortex
This area is located in the occipital lobe
This area encases the limbic system and creates personality, emotions, and supports cognition
Ventrolateral PFC (Pre-frontal Cortex)
A lesion here would lead to loss of sight or cortical blindness
Primary visual cortex (V1)
This lobe is most posterior and responsible for interpreting visual stimuli
Occipital lobe
Brodmann's area 8
Frontal eye field
This area is located in the lateral inferior frontal gyrus of the left hemisphere
Broca's area
This area helps with awareness of auditory input
Primary auditory area (A1)
Wernicke's area
A lesion here would result in inability to understand spoken language or "receptive language"
This lobe is thought to be developed the latest, well into adolescence.
Brodmann's area 4
This area is located in the precentral gyrus
Primary motor area (M1)
This area's function includes interpretation of sensory information
Primary somatosensory area
A lesion here would lead to deviation of the eyes
Frontal eye field
This lobe's function is detection, interpretation of sensory information
