Please note that, many concepts discussed below are oversimplifications of the true workings of the brain. For instance, although here every lobe is assigned specific responsibilities, most functions such as sensation or memory require the collaboration of numerous parts of the brain. It is a good practice to not take anything for granted when learning neuroscience due to the subject's complex and obscure nature.
