Brain tumor in the frontal lobe	Brain tumor in the parietal lobe	Brain tumor in the occipital lobe	Brain tumor in temporal lobe
The effects of the tumor in the brain's frontal lobe include aggression, impairment in behavioral control, problems with judgment, Changes associated with personality, and motor system changes.	Tumor in the brain's parietal lobe region affects the sensory changes like interpretation and storage of sensory information.
