| | Frontal lobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | People that have damaged frontal lobes may experience problems with these aspects of cognitive function, being at times impulsive; impaired in their ability to plan and execute complex sequences of actions; perhaps persisting with one course of action or pattern of behavior when a change would be appropriate (perseveration). | | | Frontal lobes have been found to play a part in impulse control, judgment, language, memory, motor function, problem solving, sexual behavior, socialization and spontaneity. | | | In the human brain, the precentral gyrus and the related cortical tissue that folds into the central sulcus comprise the primary motor cortex, which doesn't control voluntary movements of specific body parts associated with areas of the gyrus. |

| | Psychopathology of Frontal Lobe Syndromes |
| | Although marked disturbances of behavior following frontal lobe dysfunction have now been described for well over 120 years, these large areas of the human brain, and their links with some of the highest attributes of mankind, have been relatively neglected and are worthy of much further exploration by those interested in neuropsychiatric problems. | | | A further independent level is that of executive function of the human frontal lobes (anticipation, goal selection, preplanning, monitoring), which is superordinate to drive and sequencing, but may be subordinate to the role of the prefrontal cortex in self-awareness. | | | Special techniques are required to examine frontal lobe function, and care finding out how the patient now behaves and how this compares with his premorbid performance. |

| | Although the frontal lobe patients remembered the slides clearly, the damage to (or lack of damage to) the frontal lobe rendered it incapable of calling on the amygdala et al to set to work on the body and brain; therefore these people had no reaction to refer to and interpret as emotion. | | | However, when frontal lobe patients are put in a situation requiring thought about a situation--in other words, in a situation where secondary emotions rather than primary emotions would come into play--a marked difference between frontal lobe patients and the control group appears. | | | However, frontal lobe patients do react to stimuli that engage the primary emotions, as shown by studies undertaken by Damasio and Daniel Tranel, a psycho-physiologist and experimental neuropsychologist at the University of Iowa College of Medicine. |

| | Although extensive attempts are being made to understand the frontal lobes in animal models and in a biological sense, this article attempts to restrict discussion to a practical clinical approach to the frontal lobes, including assessment and common disorders observed in this portion of the brain. | | | Frontal release responses: Frontal release responses, including suck, grasp, snout, and groping reflexes, may be present, as may paratonic rigidity and abnormal gaze. | | | Just as the dorsolateral frontal cortex and orbitofrontal cortex have unique connectivity, lesions of these areas or their connections in the basal ganglia have distinctive clinical patterns. |

| | In addition, the study found increased activity in areas of the temporal lobe, which is not surprising since the hippocampus, a structure well-known for its involvement in memory, and its adjacent pathways are located in the temporal lobe. | | | Subjects with damage to their frontal lobes have difficulty figuring out the sorting rule, because they are unable to use their memories of previous right or wrong guesses to guide their present behavior. | | | From this evidence, doctors and psychologists deduced that the damaged area, the frontal lobe, must have been responsible for inhibiting socially inappropriate behavior and violent emotions, as well as forming plans for future actions. |
