Hum an brain structure is com posed of three m ain parts: the forebrain, m idbrain and hindbrain, each with m
ultiple parts.
The Cerebrum : Also known as the cerebral cortex, the cerebrum is the largest part of the hum an brain, and it is
associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. Nerve cells m ake up the gray surface, which is a
little thicker than our thum b. White nerve fibers beneath the surface carry signals between nerve cells in other parts of
the brain and body . Its wrinkled surface increases the surface area, and is a six-lay ered structure found in m am m als,
called the neocortex. It is divided into four sections, called “lobes”. They are; the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe, the
occipital lobe and the tem poral lobe.
Frontal Lobe – The frontal lobe lies j ust beneath our forehead and is associated with our brain’s ability to
reason, organize, plan, speak, m ove, m ake facial expressions, serial task, problem solve, control inhibition,
spontaneity , initiate and self-regulate behaviors, pay attention, rem em ber and control em otions.
Parietal Lobe – The parietal lobe is located at the upper rear of our brain, and controls our com plex behaviors,
including senses such as vision, touch, body awareness and spatial orientation. It play s im portant roles in integrating
sensory inform ation from various parts of our body , knowledge of num bers and their relations, and in the m
anipulation of obj ects. Portions are involved with our visuospatial processing, language com prehension, the ability to
construct, body positioning and m ovem ent, neglect/inattention, left-right differentiation and self-awareness/insight.

Occipital Lobe – The occipital lobe is located at the back of our brain, and is associated with our visual
processing, such as visual recognition, visual attention, spatial analy sis (m oving in a 3-D world) and visual perception
of body language; such as postures, expressions and gestures.
Tem poral Lobe – The tem poral lobe is located near our ears, and is associated with processing our perception
and recognition of auditory stim uli (including our ability to focus on one sound am ong m any , like listening to one
voice am ong m any at a party ), com prehending spoken language, verbal m em ory , visual m em ory and language
production (including fluency and word-finding), general knowledge and autobiographical m em ories.
A deep furrow divides the cerebrum into two halves, known as the left and right hem ispheres. And, while the
two hem ispheres look alm ost sy m m etrical, each side seem s to function differently . The right hem isphere is
considered our creative side, and the left hem isphere is considered our logical side. A bundle of axons, called the
corpus callosum , connects the two hem ispheres.

(A) The description of surface carry signals
between nerve cells in other parts of the
brain and body .
(B) The explanation about A bundle of axons,
called the corpus callosum , connects the
two hem ispheres.
(C) The overview about the structure and
function of the hum an brain
(D) The findings of the im portant roles of
parietal lobe in integrating sensory inform
ation from various parts of our body
(E) The argum ent of the perception and
recognition of auditory stim uli in hum an
brain
2. The sentence ‘The parietal lobe is located at the
upper rear of our brain, and controls our com plex
behaviors, including senses such as vision, touch,
body awareness and spatial orientation’ In
paragraph 5 can best be restated as
(A) The parietal lobe can be in at the upper rear
of our brain, and controls our com plex
behaviors, excluding senses such as vision,
touch, body awareness and spatial
orientation
(B) The parietal lobe is located near the upper
rear of our brain, and controls our com plex
behaviors, senses such as vision, touch,
body awareness and spatial orientation
(C) The parietal lobe is located far from the
upper rear of our brain, and controls our
com plex behaviors, a part of senses such as
vision, touch, body awareness and spatial
orientation
