Planning temporal and parietal lobes

November 11 / 2017

Stage: b) planning

According to my work plan, today I an supposed to plan what I want to say about the temporal and parietal lobes, basically this entry is about the main ideas about said lobes that I will later expand in further entries.

Parietal lobes: - Located at the top of the cerebrum
- It crosses both hemispheres of the brain (right and left)
- Vital for management of senses (taste, touch, smell, hearing, sight)
- It helps localize touch.
- Influences in body coordination.
- Very important for reasoning and orientation
- Helps asses numerical relations
- Helps coordinate attention.

Temporal lobe: - It crosses both hemispheres of the brain (left and right).
- Located in the forebrain
- It is only present in vertebrates
- Every person´s experiences on the temporal lobe are unique.
- It has a great influence in perceiving sounds (auditory processing)
- It is very important for the formation of conscious memories.
- It interprets the meaning of visual stimuli, in other words, recognizing things or persons.
- It aids in the production of speech
- It helps you understand and recognize languages
- Like many other parts of the brain, it helps maintain homeostasis in the body.
- Sends and receives signals from and to the spinal cord.
- It influences heart rate, anxiety, arousal...etc...
