The brain, consisting of four lobes, processes the
information from sensory organs and control the various functions of the body.
All areas of the brain are closely interconnected. Changes in behavior or in
the expression of a person's emotions may indicate damage in some cortical
regions or areas.
The hippocampus and temporal lobe:
The
hippocampus deals with verbal memory (memories associated with what we read,
said or heard) and visual memory (recognition of objects, faces, places). The
temporal lobe controls the recent learning and immediate memory. The
hippocampus and temporal lobe represent the center of memory and language.

| Temporal Lobe |
The parietal lobe:
It allows us
to perform tasks or use tools in a consistent and logical order (like putting
clothes in the right order, start and drive a car, etc.) It also controls our
ability to understand spatial information (for example, the specific place
where we are, the location of places, objects).

The Frontal lobe:
It allows to
take initiatives, plan to organize our actions. It controls our values and
social behavior.

The Occipital lobe:
It controls
vision, the ability to see and combine colors, shapes, and angles intelligently
moves. Although this lobe is not directly affected in Alzheimer's disease,
neighboring visual zones which allow us to combine the elements of the vision
can be achieved, which involves disorders of perception.
