Brain lobes with their functions and areas (Demos, 2005).

	Sites	Functions	Considerations
Parietal lobes	Pz, P3, P4	LH: Problem solving, math, complex grammar, attention, association RH: Spatial awareness, Geometry	Dyscalculia sense of direction learning disorders
Frontal lobes	FP1, FP2, FPZ, FZ, F3, F4, F7, F8	LH: Working memory, concentration, Executive planning, positive emotions. RH: Episodic memory, social awareness Frontal poles: attention judgment	LH: Depression RH: Anxiety, fear, executive planning, poor executive functioning
Temporal lobes	T3, T4, T5, T6	LH: Word recognition, reading, language, memory RH: Object recognition, music, social cues Facial recognition	Anger, rage, dyslexia, long-term memory, closed head injury
Occipital lobes	OZ, O1, O2	Visual learning, reading, parietal- temporal-occipital functions	Learning disorders
Sensorimotor cortex	CZ, C3, C4	LH: Attention, mental processing, RH: Calmness, emotion, Empathy Combined: Fine motor skills, manual dexterity, sensory and motor integration and processing	Paralysis (stroke), seizure disorder, poor handwriting, ADHD symptoms
Cingulate gyrus	FPZ, FZ, CZ, PZ, OZ	Mental flexibility, cooperation, attention, motivation, morals	Obsessions, compulsions, tics, perfectionism, worry, ADHD symptoms, OCD & OCD spectrum
Broca’s area	F7, T3	Verbal expression	Dyslexia, poor spelling, poor reading
Left hemisphere	All odd numbered sites	Logical sequencing, detail oriented, language abilities, word retrieval, fluency, reading, math, science, problem solving, verbal memory	Depression (underactivation)
Right hemisphere	All even numbered sites	Episodic memory encoding, social awareness, eye contact, music, humor, empathy, spatial awareness, art, insight, intuition, non-verbal memory, seeing the whole picture	Anxiety (overactivation)
