Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cortical lobes of the cerebral cortex include the:
A
frontal lobe, prefrontal cortex, left hemisphere, right hemisphere
B
parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, frontal lobe
C
left hemisphere, right hemisphere
D
the hindbrain, forebrain, and midbrain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Your cortex is divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital. Each of these lobes is responsible for processing different types of information.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four lobes in the cortex, the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe.

Detailed explanation-3: -The largest lobes of the cerebral cortex are the frontal lobes. These are located at the front of the brain behind the forehead. The frontal lobe’s functions primarily involve ‘higher’ cognitive functions such as decision-making, conscious thought, problem-solving, and attention.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cerebral cortex is divided lengthways into two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum. Traditionally, each of the hemispheres has been divided into four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cerebral cortex is composed of four lobes: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, and occipital lobe. The major function of the cerebrum is to control the voluntary muscular movements of the body. The cerebral cortex is mainly involved in the consciousness.
