The Frontal Lobe
By: Jayden Dean
What is the frontal lobe?
The frontal lobe is the front most, largest hemisphere of the brain. The frontal lobe is responsible for controling your thinking, personality, memory, and your muscle movements. Your frontal lobe works together with the other parts of your brain to complete everday activites.
Your frontal lobe is responsible for a lot. It essentially makes you who you are. Without it your thoughts, character, and the way you process emotions would drastically change.
A popular example of this is Phineas Gage. Gage was a railroad construction worker who in an accident got a metal rod lodged through his head, completely destroying part
of his frontal lobe. He survived the accident but people who knew Gage said his personality completely changed and he went from calm and respectful, to rude and angry. He also seemed to lack remorse, doing things without shame or regret.
Conditions and Disorders in the Frontal Lobe
There are many brain damaging/degenerative disorders that can affect frontal lobe function. Alzheimer's, Expressive aphasia, Dementia, and brain tumors can all damage or affect your frontal lobe and cause issues in the actions above. Schiezophrenia is another example, that in many studies shows to affect multiple, in most cases, all frontal lobe fuctions.
