The occipital lobes process visual information. The frontal lobes of the cerebrum are the areas of the brain responsible for voluntary motor function, concentration, communication, decision making, and personality. The parietal lobes are responsible for the sense of touch, distinguishing the shape and texture of objects. The temporal lobes are concerned with the senses of hearing and smell.
