Explanation:

Each hemisphere further subdivides into a frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal lobe.

Detailed explanation-2: -In other words, if one part of the brain is taking care of one specific function such as language and speech, then another part remains free to take care of something else, such as facial recognition. This may in turn allow the brain to juggle these different functions more efficiently.
