The frontal lobe is responsible for the sense of smell. The frontal lobe also has two motor areas: a premotor area that plans efferent skeletal muscle messages; and a primary motor area that then sends out the planned, voluntary, skeletal muscle messages. This lobe is also responsible for motivation, judgment, and aggression. Broca's area, an important area concerning language, is also located in the frontal lobe. The parietal lobe is responsible for the general senses, like touch. The cortex of this lobe is also responsible for higher-level processes, such as math and problem solving. The temporal lobe is responsible for the sense of hearing. Wernicke's area, another important area for language, is located here. The occipital lobe is responsible for vision.
