Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, and frontal lobe are all part of the cerebral cortex, which is the outer layer of the brain responsible for information processing, perception, and consciousness. Therefore, these lobes are collectively known as cortical lobes. Choice A is incorrect because the frontal cortex specifically refers to the frontal lobe, not all four lobes. Choice B is incorrect because the prefrontal cortex refers to the front part of the frontal lobe, not all four lobes. Choice D is partially correct since the temporal lobe is part of the cortex, but it does not include the other three lobes.
