The brain is composed of four parts: the Cerebrum, the Cerebellum, the Brain Stem, and the Diencephalon. The Cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres (left, right) and four lobes: temporal, parietal, occipital, and frontal. The Brain stem is composed of the Medulla Oblongata, the Pons, and the Midbrain. The Diencephalon contains the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalamus.

∙ 14y agoThe four lobes of the human cerebral cortex are: occipital lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and frontal lobe.
Generally speaking, the occipital lobe carries out low level visual functions, like processing edges, colors, orientations, and motion. The temporal lobe gets input from the occipital lobe and is involved in higher level object processing. The parietal lobe also receives input from the occipital lobe and is involved in spatial processing. The frontal lobe is involved in more abstract processes typically labeled "executive functions" which include problem solving and decision making.

Where is the cerebral cortex?
The cerebral cortex is the outermost covering of the brain. It is approximately 2-4 mm in thickness. It contains the frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital lobes.

What causes cerebral cortex?
Cerebral cortex is the outer layer of the brain. Having a brain that is capable of a variety of brain function "causes" the cerebral cortex!
