# data[].attributes.body
Brain Stem

Functions:

Controls vital life functions:

Breathing

Heart rate

Blood pressure

Regulates sleep and wakefulness

Controls reflexes like coughing, swallowing, and vomiting

Acts as a relay center between the brain and spinal cord

Effects of Damage:

Breathing difficulties or respiratory failure

Irregular heartbeat or blood pressure

Paralysis or weakness

Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia)

Loss of consciousness or coma

Death (in cases of severe damage)

Cerebellum

Functions:

Coordinates voluntary movements (e.g. walking, reaching)

Maintains balance and posture

Controls muscle tone

Involved in motor learning and timing

Effects of Damage:

Loss of coordination (ataxia)

Difficulty with balance and walking (unsteady gait)

Tremors or shaking (intention tremor)

Slurred speech (dysarthria)

Inability to perform rapid alternating movements

Parietal Lobe

Location: Situated above the temporal lobe, behind the frontal lobe.

Functions:

Sensory Processing: Receives and processes sensory information like touch, temperature, and pain.

Spatial Awareness: Helps in understanding spatial orientation and navigation.

Mathematical and Reading Skills: Involved in tasks requiring mathematical calculations and reading.

Somatosensory Processing: The somatosensory cortex here processes tactile information.

Damage Effects: Can lead to difficulties in spatial orientation, reading, or recognizing objects

Occipital Lobe

Occipital Lobe

Location: Located at the back of the brain.

Functions:

Visual Processing: Primary area for interpreting visual information from the eyes.

Color Recognition: Helps in identifying colors and shapes.

Spatial Processing: Assists in determining the location and movement of objects.

Damage Effects: May cause visual impairments, such as blindness or difficulty recognizing objects.

# data[].attributes.body
Location: Located beneath the frontal and parietal lobes, near the ears.

Functions:

Auditory Processing: Contains the primary auditory cortex, essential for hearing.

Memory Formation: Works with the hippocampus to form long-term memories.

Language Comprehension: Wernicke's area, typically in the left hemisphere, is involved in understanding speech.

Emotional Responses: The amygdala, located here, processes emotions.

Damage Effects: May result in memory loss, language difficulties, or emotional disturbances.

# data[].attributes.body
Location: Front-most part of the brain, behind the forehead.

Functions:

Executive Functions: Involved in reasoning, planning, problem-solving, and decision-making.

Motor Control: Houses the primary motor cortex, responsible for voluntary movements.

Speech Production: Broca's area, located in the left frontal lobe, is crucial for speech.

Social Behavior: Regulates social interactions, impulse control, and emotional responses.

Memory: Plays a role in forming and retrieving memories.

Damage Effects:

Can lead to changes in personality, difficulty in planning, and impaired motor skills.
