Could anyone of you tell me what tests are used for areas of the brain, eg. frontal lobe, dominant parietal lobe, dominant parietal lobe, temporal lobe, anterior part of the corpus calamus? Thanks a lot.

  #2

Frontal Lobe: inability to speak fluently (Broca's aphasia)

Parietal Lobe: cannot copy a simple line drawing or a clock face correctly (right-side lesion); cannot name fingers (Left side lesion); cannot write (Left side lesion)

Occipital: visual hallucinations/illusions; inability to identify camouflaged objects

As far as corpus callosum:

BRS states that women may have a larger corpus callosum and anterior commisure and appear to have better interhemispheric communications than men

(Therefore: note to all men, "see, another reason why women are smarter" smiling face
