answer
Olfaction and hearing are processed in the TEMPORAL LOBES.
The FRONTAL LOBE provides critical function in motivation, logical reasoning, expression of emotion, and social attitudes.
Housing the visual centers, the OCCIPITAL LOBES receive inputs from the optic radiation.
The frontal lobes also include the primary MOTOR COMPLEX, which controls voluntary motor functions.
The PARIETAL LOBES exhibit receipt and association of general body sensations.
The deepest of the cerebral lobes, the INSULA is also the smallest and least understood
