Temporal Lobe- memory, speach, auditory stimuli, and perception and recognition. The parietal lobe-orientation, recognition, stimuli. The Occipital Lobe-visual processing. The Cerebral Cortex is the material filling the grooves seen in brain images. It is responsible for many different senses such as memory, attention, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. A lot of these movements are associated with the cerebral cortex are voluntary, but not all are.
