Describe the locations of the lobes of the cerebral cortex.
What will be an ideal response?
Students' answers may vary.
The cerebral cortex consists of four major sections called lobes. Each lobe has specialized areas that relate to particular functions. If we take a side view of the brain, the frontal lobes lie at the front center of the cortex and the parietal lobes lie behind them. The temporal lobes are found in the lower-center portion of the cortex, with the occipital lobes lying behind them. These four sets of lobes are physically separated by deep grooves called sulci.
