Emotional Controls. The forebrain also includes a number of smaller lobes, divided between the two hemispheres, that control several important intermediary functions. These include the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, amygdala, and hippocampus.n terms of shape, the forebrain looks sort of like a semi-circle or cup turned on its side, and itâs usually quite large. In adults it can take up about half of the total brain space. A lot is going on in the tissues here, and itâs often easiest to identify the exact functions by taking things one hemisphere at a time.
