The mind is quite special.
Is it distinct from the brain?
Is there a soul directing our thoughts?
Are our thoughts determined entirely by our biology?
How do we know?
Different regions of the brain are associated with different aspects of mental functioning.
The frontal lobe is found at the front of the brain and is associated with higher-order thinking skills, expressive language, and motor abilities.
It is fascinating how just one portion of our brain, our mind, has such a great influence on our daily lives.
Along with our frontal lobe
The occipital lobe is found at the back of the brain and is associated with interpreting visual information.
Who knew that just by opening your eyes in the morning looking at the ceiling, our bedside, or whatever it is you wake up to, could be the first thing in the day that you visually interpret with the occipital lobe.
Have we truly understood the mind or have we hardly just dipped our toes into the shore of a vast ocean?
The mind is truly a wonder.
