NuroCity UpTown Primarily features the Frontal Lobes & the Parietal Lobes of the Brain. UpTown represents the top, upper, structures of the brain which are situated above MidTown, Underground, & DownTown features on a brain map.
The frontal lobe of the brain "plays a crucial role in higher-level cognitive functions like planning, decision-making, and personality."
In NURONS stories this complex is called Frontal Properties, Think Tank Buildings.
Broca's area in the brain, located in the frontal lobe, primarily functions in speech production and articulation. It plays a crucial role in coordinating the complex motor movements needed to speak fluently, particularly focusing on the mechanics of speech.
The primary purpose of the motor cortex is to control voluntary movements. It initiates and directs signals to muscles, coordinating muscle activity and facilitating complex movements like walking, reaching, and grasping. This area also plays a role in motor learning and skill acquisition.
The somatosensory cortex is a region in the brain's parietal lobe responsible for processing sensory information from the body, including touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
The parietal lobe's primary purpose is to process somatosensory information, including touch, temperature, & pain, & crucial role in spatial orientation, attention, and language processing.
The olfactory bulb is the primary processing center in the brain for the sense of smell, receiving olfactory information from the nose & relaying it to other brain regions. It sends smell info to the higher brain centers involved in memory, emotion, and learning.
