Brain Structure and Function
Lobes of the Cerebrum
Sensory areas - receive and process information from sense organs
Association areas - produce perceptual experience that is meaningful
Lobes of cerebrum made up of sensory and association areas
Lobe Function
FrontalMotor areas control voluntary muscle movement
Association areas related to intelligence and personality
