The cerebellum plays an important role in balance, motor control, but is also involved in some cognitive functions such as attention, language, emotional functions (such as regulating fear and pleasure responses) and in the processing of procedural memories.
Where are the brainâs lobes and what activities does each lobe control? The Frontal Lobe is located just behind the skull of the forehead, and it governs our ability to reason, make judgments, organize information and control some motor/muscle functions. The Parietal Lobe is near the back and top of the head. Itâs involved with visual attention, sensation (touch and pressure) and integration of senses. The Occipital Lobe is located at the back of the skull and controls vision. The Temporal Lobes are located on each side of the head above the ears. They control hearing and are related to smell, taste and short-term memory (especially visual and verbal).
