Lobes of the brain

The brain's hemispheres have four lobes.

• The frontal lobes help control thinking, planning, organizing, problem-solving, short-term memory and movement.
• The parietal lobes help interpret feeling, known as sensory information. The lobes process taste, texture and temperature.
• The occipital lobes process images from your eyes and connect them to the images stored in your memory. This allows you to recognize images.
• The temporal lobes help process information from your senses of smell, taste and sound. They also play a role in memory storage.
