2 Human mental ability

 Human mental ability includes language, memory, feelings, thought, motivation, judgement and intelligence (adaptive ability), which collectively are called “mental expression”. These activities are generally created by brain.
 When one takes a look at each part of the brain, the prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe controls human brain activity, for example, purposefulness, planning, motivation and feelings, and aids with movement of the upper frontal lobe and language pronunciation near the temporal lobe. The parietal lobe controls sensory information and somatic sense runs along the border with the frontal lobe and controls the sensation in the skin, like touch and pain in internal organs etc. Furthermore, there is the taste sense on the border of the temporal lobe, and the occipital lobe deals with the function of sight.

Table 1 Division of roles of the brain cortex

🔸Division Frontal lobe, frontal association area, Roles Thought, purposefulness, planning, motivation, feelings, judgement and self-repression.
🔸Division Frontal lobe, movement association area, Roles This area plans the start of movement and the procedure. The instruction of movement originates here.
🔸Division Somatosensory area, Roles This area controls the sense of touch and pain and  deep sense.
🔸Division Vertex area, Roles This area integrates the information of judgement, understanding and sense.
🔸Division Temporal lobe, auditory area, Roles This area controls audio information.
🔸Division  Temporal association cortex, Roles Knowledge, memory, language understanding.
🔸Division Visual association area, Roles Judgement and cognition of visual information.
🔸Division Visual area, Roles Reception of visual information.
🔸Division Broca’s area, Roles Expression of language:writing and speech
🔸Division Wernicke’s area, Roles Understanding of language:reading and listening.
