    The human brain is a fascinating thing. It's truly amazing to me it even works sometimes with all that goes on at once. The nerve center of the body coordinates and issues instructions to all parts of the body to work in harmony. There are several distinct parts all playing unique roles in the routine function of a healthy brain. The largest part, the cerebrum, is divided into pieces as well called "lobes". The Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, and Occipital lobes carry out many of the significant operations the brain is responsible for. However there are other, lesser lobes that are often overlooked when talking about the brain as a whole. One of these being the "Marking Lobe".

    The Marking Lobe is located in the left hemisphere of the brain, about 7 centimeters directly above the Ear Lobe. If you haven't heard of it before, it wouldn't surprise me. It's a small portion compared to the whole brain, highlighted in yellow, pictured to the right. Also the Marking Lobe's role is generally supportive in nature, meaning it often can be taken for granted as it doesn't get as much attention as the higher functioning Frontal and Temporal Lobes.

    Many have gone as far as saying the Marking Lobe's contribution is relatively unimportant among brain activities. However, to those of us that must use this specific part of our brain often know that its role is crucial in the way the brain operates. The Marking Lobe, when inoperable, often leads to difficulties with one's ability to see at night, complications walking a straight line, and frequently can cause a general sense of disorientation. Most of these issues can be avoided by being proactive and exercise that part of the brain just like you would if building up a muscle.

    Sightline has the capability to strengthen the lesser known Marking Lobe. Through classroom and hands-on training, we will make your operations more efficient which will result in more informed decision making. To find out more, use your Web Surfing Lobe and visit our website, sightline.us.
