| Language disorder | ||
| Areas of the cerebral Cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions | ||
| In the front part of the pariatal lobe that sends messages to the body about feeling | ||
| At the back of the frontal lobe allows movement | ||
| lobe that contains the auditory areas | ||
| The lobe that holds the sensory cortex | ||
| In this lobe contains the visual cortex | ||
| Front portion of the brain. It holds your ability to judge and make good/bad choices | ||
