What part of the brain controls what?

Can you track your actions to specific areas in the brain?

This question made my 10th grade memories flooding back to me. Those were some hard days. Always liked Biology but at some point it became too hard for me. Anyway, I'm going to provide you with which part of brain controls which part of our brain in a list as follows.


  • Frontal Lobe: Controls Emotions, Movement, parts of speech, creativity, judgment etc all the abstract thoughts and their manifestations.
  • Parietal Lobe: Situated right behind the frontal lobe and controls nerve impulses such as touch, pain, taste, temperature, pressure etc
  • Occipetal Lobe: Controls recognition and vision.
  • Temporal Lobe: Controls hearing, language, memory etc.
  • Cerebral cortex: Controlls thinking, movements that are done voluntarily, language partly, ability of reasoning and perception.
  • Thalamus: It works as a channel for transmitting information from cerebral cortex from other parts of brain. Controlls integretion of Sensory and motor responses.
  • Cerebellum: Controls physical responses such as balance cordination, movements etc.
  • Amygdala: regulates scales of emotions such as haapiness, sadness, anger etc
  • Hippocampus: Works as a memory organizer by creating and storing them.
  • Mid-Brain:this is the part that controlls your lungs by contorlling you breathing, and reflexes that comes with birth.

I hope these are enough to satisfy your curiosity. There are some other parts that i left out of this list but if you want to know more just leave a reply and  i will provide you with more info

The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body. The left hemisphere controls the right side of the body.

Left part is responsible for thoughts and actions whereas right one is responsible for feelings and emotions.

Optic nerve


When light reaches the retina of the eye, when the image is created, it moves throughout the brain through the optic nerve. The optic nerve is the second cranial nerve, Damage Optical nerves can prevent information from being sent from the eye to the entire brain. information from the left eye goes to the right hemisphere of the brain and vice versa; this is because the optic nerve crosses the optical chiasm, causing the optic nerve of each eye to send information to thie opposite side of the brain.


Occipital lobe


After information enters from the optic nerve throughout the brain, the information is sent to the occipital lobe, where the view is processed. The occipital lobe is located in the back of the brain, above the cerebellum, and form the center of the visual perception system, according to the Center for Neuro Skills. Each hemisphere has its own occipital lobe; Therefore, each occipital lobe processes information sent to a particular hemisphere. The occipital lobe controls how one looks at a scene, so that damage to this part of the brain can cause vision mismatch, and is problematic in identifying the color or movement of an object.


Visual cortex


The last part of the brain involved in the eye is the visual cortex, where sensory and motor information is integrated with vision.  some visual pathways involved. For example, the ventral visual pathway controls how a person identifies an object, while a visual pathway is dorsal control a person's visual-motor response to an object. In other words, the visual cortex allows you to realize that you are looking at a plate, for example, and then allows you to take it.
