Summary Introduction
To review:
The left prefrontal lobe and left parietal lobe are most affected by sleep-deprivation.
Introduction:
The cerebral cortex is divided into the parietal, frontal, occipital, and temporal lobes. The parietal lobe receives and processes the sensory information. The frontal lobe has its function in problem solving, decision making, and planning. The occipital lobe sends information to the parietal and temporal lobes and the temporal lobe has a role in memory, emotion, hearing, and language.
