e posterior region of the cortex is the occipital lobe, which has no obvious anatomical border between it and the parietal or temporal lobes on the lateral surface of the brain
The occipital lobe, located in the posterior region of the cortex, is the primary center for visual processing.
he parietal lobes are located posterior to the frontal lobes at the top of the head. The parietal lobes are involved in body sensations, including temperature, touch, and pain
The parietal lobes play a crucial role in processing somatosensory information, which includes temperature, touch, and pai
This module starts with the value of an embryologic perspective, and then discusses the formation of the neural tube, embryonic brain development (the process of the anterior neural tube differentiates into primary and secondary vesicles), postnatal brain development, spinal cord development, and neuron development.
Covering neuron development further strengthens the module by emphasizing how individual nerve cells form and function
Neurons are important, but without glial support, they would not be able to perform their function. Glial cells are essential for neuron survival and function.

Biopsychology is the study of biological mechanisms of behavior and mental processes. It examines the role of the nervous system, particularly the brain, in explaining behavior and the mind. This section defines biopsychology, critically examines a common myth about the brain, and briefly surveys some of the primary areas of research interest in biopsychology.
