That's the small lobe, and then that's the big lobe like that.

Then you have another one that has a big lobe like that and a small lobe in the back.

Really, consciousness is seated in the frontal lobe.

And then you have one where the big lobe is pointing straight up, and it has a small lobe going down.

This outer layer, the one I'm drawing now, is called the parietal pericardium.

Let's say this is the big lobe that is kind of pointing near us, and then it has a small lobe in the back.

And he studied Alzheimer's patients that had frontal temporal lobe dementia.

We've got the occipital lobe so we can actually see the world.

We got the temporal lobe so we can actually hear the world.

Here, they're parallel. p orbitals are parallel to each other, and you see that they overlap on this kind of top lobe here and in this bottom lobe here.

So one part is the parietal cortex which is very well known to control the orientation of attention.

And in particular, one area of the temporal lobe is called the fusiform gyrus.

And you can see here, he's starting to get more energy into the frontal lobe.

And the temporal lobe hallucinations are all sense hallucinations, full of feeling, full of familiarity,

We know that if you stimulate the temporal lobe, you can produce a feeling of out of body experiences, near death experiences, which you can do by just touching an electrode to the temporal lobe there.

That's the layer on the outside. Let me label that as well as this guy, that would be the parietal pericardium.

When images are formed, a higher part of the visual cortex is involved in the temporal lobe.

You know, this is the parietal cortex, the somatosensory cortex, this is the touch of her skin, the texture of her clothes.

If you look at the first slide there, that's the temporal lobes, frontal lobes, parietal lobes, OK the lobes that constitute the brain.

You can kind of imagine a three legged stool, and then its small lobe will come out like that.

Another region we identified was the temporo parietal junction which is here above your ear, it's important for perspective taking and empathy and compassion.

The gene heightens normally occurring connections between the taste area in his frontal lobe and the color area further back.

And one of the main reasons our brain got so big is because it got a new part, called the frontal lobe.

The bell curve shows 150 controls, and what is being looked at is the difference between the right and the left frontal lobe.

Let's say this is an sp3 hybridized orbital, and that's on this atom and this is kind of this big lobe right there.

And indeed, at the top, you'll see before the surgery, the areas in blue are the areas that use less glucose than normal, predominantly the parietal and temporal lobes.

You have the middle area, where the temporal lobe might be, in here, and the posterior portion, where the maintenance functions are in the back.

In red is an area that's active in the prefrontal cortex, the frontal lobe of the brain, and in blue is this area that was deactivated.

Just very simply, the three parts of the brain the frontal lobe, where you focus your attention and concentration you have the temporal lobe, where you form images and keep memories and the posterior part of your brain, which contains the cerebellum, which controls motion and the brain stem, where you have your basic maintenance functions,

Well, we know exactly where it happens, in the temporal lobe, right across, sort of above your ear there, in a little structure called the fusiform gyrus.

You'll see broad bacterial groups, and if you look at the shape of this pink lobe, it tells you something about the relative abundance of each group.

Three dimensional play fires up the cerebellum, puts a lot of impulses into the frontal lobe the executive portion helps contextual memory be developed, and and, and, and.

And because nothing is more important to us than survival, the first stop of all of that data is an ancient sliver of the temporal lobe called the amygdala.

There is also a rare thing called temporal lobe epilepsy, and sometimes, if one has this, one may feel oneself transported back to a time and place in the past.

The other one is the frontal lobe, which controls how we sustain attention, and another one is the anterior cingulate, which controls how we allocate and regulate attention and resolve conflict.

So practicing throwing things has been shown to stimulate the frontal and parietal lobes, which have to do with visual acuity, 3D understanding, and structural problem solving, so it helps develop their visualization skills and their predictive ability.

I do have to say, somebody I read recently that van Gogh wasn't really necessarily psychotic, that he might have had temporal lobe seizures, and that might have caused his spurt of creativity, and I don't

And I will mention that I actually developed temporal lobe seizures a number of years ago, but it was during the time I was writing my last book, and some people say that book is quite different.

We think, at least in this preliminary it's one study it's probably wrong, but it's one study (Laughter) we think that at least a reasonable hypothesis is that, to be creative, you should have this weird dissociation in your frontal lobe.

The pattern is that those people, every one of them I looked at, who was a murderer, and was a serial killer, had damage to their orbital cortex, which is right above the eyes, the orbits, and also the interior part of the temporal lobe.

Children below the age of 8 have an underdeveloped frontal lobe that might cause them to be unable to separate reality from fantasy. Some of them might believe that there are monsters in their closet or under the bed for example. They are also sometimes unable to distinguish dreams from reality.
