BRAIN LOBES - WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THEM
The human brain is made of 2 cerebral hemispheres,
right and left. The corpus callosum forms a bridge that
joins them together. Each hemisphere has four lobes
( frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital).
Millions of nerve cells called neurons originate in the
brain and transmit information all over the body. The
nerve pathways in the brain cross over. This results in
the left brain controlling the functions of the right and
vice versa.
The images above explain brain function.
