Parietal Lobe | Plays a key role in spatial awareness and perception |
Occipital Lobe | Primarily involved in vision |
Cerebellum | Coordinates voluntary movements and balance |
Hippocampus | Crucial for memory formation and navigation |
Amygdala | Involved in emotion regulation, particularly fear and anxiety |
Hypothalamus | Regulates basic bodily functions such as hunger, thirst, and sleep |
