Presentation Transcript

  1. By: Kindrea Wilson and Stanley Duncan The Parietal Lobe

  2. The Definition • Parietal Lobe-a portion of the cerebral cortex at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position.

  3. Speech Visual perception and recognition Cognition and information Major Function of the Parietal Lobe • Sensing pain, pressure, and touch • Regulating and processing the body's five senses • Movement and visual orientation

  4. The Behaviors the Parietal Lobe Controls • The Parietal lobe can control any behavior. • The type of behavior that it controls is based off of the environment and other factors.

  5. The Process of the Parietal Lobe • All four lobes work together to send sensory information to each other. • Each lobes deals with different sensory information and they send the information to the rest of the lobes.

  6. What parts of the brain does the Parietal lobe work with? • Frontal lobe • Temporal lobe • Occipital lobe

  7. The discovery of the Parietal Lobe • Franciscus Sylvius (1614-1672) • Physician, physiologist, anatomist, and chemist • Professor at the University of Leidon (1641) • Was in the chemistry lab at the University when discovering the deep cleft (Sylvian Fissure).

  8. Continued... • The deep cleft is what separates all of the lobes. • This is how the four lobes became separate.

  9. Can not locate parts of your body. Can not recognize parts of your body. Injury to the Parietal Lobe can cause... • Problems with: • Speech • Writing • Understanding symbols and language

  10. Different types of memory: Visual short term memory Working Memory Episodic Memory Recent Research • Researchers have found evidence linking the Parietal lobe to memory.

  11. Parts of the Parietal Lobe • Superior parietal lobule • Inferior parietal lobule • Intraparietal sulcus
