Damage to the right parietal lobe leads to contralateral neglect syndrome . Damage to the left parietal lobe does not cause neglect of the right side of the body. The occipital lobe receives and processes visual information . Its association areas are essential for making sense out of one s visual world and translating the visual experience into language. The cerebellum processes sensory information and coordinates the execution of movements .
Movement requires planning, initiation, and execution.
The planning involves the exchange of information and coordination among the cortex, basal ganglia, and cerebellum . The initiation of movement is the responsibility of the motor cortex. The execution of movement is carried out via the descending pathways to the motor neurons. Sensory information from the joints and muscles provide feedback to the brain to adjust movements. The diencephalon lies between the brain stem and the cerebrum.
