The lobe that controls sight is the occipital lobe. The lobe that contorls hearing is the temporal lobe, the lobe that deals with pain, pressure, temperature, touch, and part of taste is the parietal lobe. The lobe that controls consciousness and primary body movements is the frontal lobe. The temporal lobe is said to control smell.
What else can I help you with?
Olfactory system sends information to what part of the brain?
The olfactory system sends information directly to the olfactory bulb, which is located in the brain. From there, the information is processed in regions of the brain such as the olfactory cortex and limbic system, which are involved in processing smells and emotions.
Where is balance processed in the brain?
The part of the brain where balance is processed is the cerebellum. The cerebellum also controls posture and other motor functions.
What is the nerve that sends impulses from the nose to the brain?
Quite a few, depending on what sensation you're interested in, but the cribiform plate is actually a part of the brain (the olfactory lobe), the only part of the brain that connects to the outside world directly.
Impulses that stimulate the olfactory receptors are transmitted along the?
Olfactory nerve to the brain's olfactory bulb, where they are processed and interpreted as specific smells. The olfactory nerve is responsible for carrying information about odors from the nose to the brain.
What structure transmits information about odors?
The olfactory bulb is the structure in the brain that receives and processes information about odors transmitted from the olfactory receptors in the nasal cavity. This information is then further processed in the brain's olfactory cortex, allowing us to perceive and identify different smells.
How does the olfactory affect epilepsy?
Epileptic seizures originating in the olfactory part of the brain can create unusual or unexplained smells.
How is olfactory impulse carried to brain?
Olfactory impulses are carried to the brain by olfactory nerve fibers, which are specialized nerve cells located in the roof of the nasal cavity. These nerve fibers send signals to the olfactory bulb located in the brain, where the information is processed and interpreted as different smells.
Does the brain pick up messages from the outside world?
Indirectly, yes. The skin passes feelings of soft, hard, cold, or hot to the brain. The eyes send images. The nose sends smells, and the mouth sends flavors. The ears send sounds and balance. These are all processed in the brain.
Where is the information processed?
Brain
What part of the brain processes pain signals?
Processing of pain signals occurs in the parietal lobes, or sensory cortex. The actual sensation of pain is processed throughout the brain.
Why does a person lose sense of smell after suffering a traumatic brain injury?
It depends on which part of the brain was injured - not all people lose their sense of smell. If the part of the brain that controls that sense is injured, then you will lose the ability because the brain cells are damaged and don't work to report smells like they used to.
What part of the brain is sensory memory stored?
Sensory memory is stored in different regions of the brain depending on the type of sensory information. For example, auditory sensory memory is primarily processed in the auditory cortex, while visual sensory memory is processed in the visual cortex.
