The frontal lobe associates and incorporates all parts of behavior at the uppermost level (Cognitive Skills of the Brain‚ n.d.). This is also where emotion and social regulation are located (Cognitive Skills of the Brain‚ n.d.). Observed problems associated with the frontal lobe include; anxiety‚ personality changes‚ acting out‚ aggression and depression (Cognitive Skills of the Brain‚ n.d.). The parietal lobe mainly governs language and construction ability

UNDERSTANDING HOW KEY FUNCTIONS OF THE BRAIN ARE AFFECTED BY DEMENTIA You do not have to become an expert on the brain to be a good dementia health care worker. However‚ having a basic awareness of the brain’s functioning may help you to understand some of the difficulties a person with dementia is experiencing. It can also help to explain some of the behaviours you may find challenging and difficult to comprehend. The level of damage taking place in the brain (‘neurological impairment’)

The Effects of Frontal Temporal Degeneration on Families As future Speech Language Pathologists‚ we first must understand a disorder and the effects it has on a client. In the beginning of the video‚ a woman described Frontal Temporal degeneration as a “progressive brain diseases attack and destroys ultimately a person’s ability to talk‚ think‚ walk‚ makes decisions‚ and show emotions”. When there is damage to the frontal lobe and/or temporal lobe alters a person’s behavior‚ their planning and

four sections‚ or lobes. These four sections are: the frontal lobe‚ the temporal lobe‚ the parietal lobe‚ and the occipital lobe. All of these lobes are in charge of their own set of tasks and functions (Jeanty‚ 2009). The frontal lobe is in charge of planning‚ problem solving‚ personality organizing‚ selective attention‚ and a variety of other “higher cognitive functions” (Johnson Jr.‚ 2009). The temporal lobe consists of two sections‚ one on each side of the brain. The temporal love controls a

Broca’s area is located in the posterior section of the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere. Broca’s studies helped prove that people who had language deficits‚ especially in speaking resulted in an issue with Broca’s area. While Broca’s area helps with speech production‚ Wernicke’s area helps with speech comprehension. Wernicke’s area is named after Carl Wernicke‚ a German neurologist. The area is found in the posterior portion of the left temporal lobe. It was also discovered that with a defect in the

various frontal lobe processes (Stuss‚ Alexander‚ Shallice‚ Picton‚ Binns‚ Macdonald‚ Borowiec & Douglas‚ 2005). Stuss et al (2005) showed that lesions in the superior medial frontal lobes were associated with slow reaction times and with failure to decrease reaction time after a warning signal. Furthermore‚ lesions in the right lateral frontal lobe prevented the decrease in reaction time with increasing FP that was seen in healthy subjects and in patients with lesions elsewhere in the frontal lobes

Four Lobes of the Cerebral Cortex The Cerebral Cortex is what separates humans from the rest of the world’s species. Our Cerebral Cortex is larger in size‚ as well as a much greater amount of convolutions than other species. The Cerebral Cortex is divided up in too four major parts‚ Frontal Lobe‚ Parietal Lobe‚ Occipital Lobe‚ and the Temporal Lobe. Frontal Lobe located in front directly behind the forehead‚ it synchronizes motor skills‚ analytical skills‚ cognitive skill emotional expression‚ recall
