| | It is known that the occipital lobe performs only the "early" visual processing, such as edge orientation, and that this information in turn is passed to other areas such as the temporal lobe where a presumed (but ill-understood) process of integration occurs, affording high-level determination of what is seen (eg, a house or a face). | | | The motor strip consists of neurons whose signals proceed down the spinal cord to muscles, causing them to contract; the frontal lobes (left and right) are thought to be involved in planning, and thus it seems not unreasonable that motor commands (enacting a plan) would emanate from there. | | | The somatosensory strip receives sensory signals traveling from the body up through the spinal cord and smell brain and other inner structures and into the parietal lobe. |

| | As these questions are formulated with the help of the frontal lobe, the parietal lobe then begins to entertain vague images and/or concepts of the kinds of emotionally important objects that might be present in the environment. | | | In the modernist framework as applied to psychology and cognitive neuroscience, consciousness was supposed to be caused by, or to result from, something that happened in the brain. | | | What makes it do so is that it receives rich input from the limbic system (importantly involved in motivational feelings and other 'valuations'), and then sends signals which coordinate the remainder of the cortex to be consciously aware of the arousing situation and to devise ways to deal with it. |
