There are four lobes of the brain. You have the frontal lobe‚ parietal lobe‚ temporal lobe‚ and the occipital lobe. The frontal lobe is of course located in the front of the brain and performs reasoning‚ expressive language‚ motor skills‚ and high level cognition. This part of the brain gets information from different lobes throughout the brain to carry body movements.
