The frontal lobe is important for cognitive functions and control of voluntary movement or activity. The parietal lobe processes information about temperature, taste, touch and movement, while the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for vision.

Answer & explanation:

There are four brain lobes: Frontal lobe, Occipital lobe, Temporal lobes and Parietal lobes. Each of these has specific functions throughout the body.

The frontal lobe, which is located at the front of the cranium, is responsible for action planning and abstract thinking. The motor cortex and prefrontal cortex are part of the frontal lobe.

The motor cortex is related to voluntary motricity. The prefrontal cortex, in turn, is related to the planning of complex thoughts and behaviors.

Occipital lobes are located in the lower brain, and their function is to process visual stimuli that decode and classify colors, shapes and sizes.

Temporal lobes are located near the ears and are responsible for processing auditory stimuli, allowing the recognition of sounds and their origin.

The parietal lobes are in the upper brain, and their function is the perception of sensations such as touch, pain and heat.

Since this lobe is responsible for receiving stimuli from the external environment, it represents all areas of the body.
