Frontal Lobe Functioning

The frontal lobe is a critical part of the brain located at the front of the head. It is responsible for higher-level functions such as decision-making, problem-solving, planning, and controlling impulses. It also plays a key role in regulating emotions, speech production, and coordinating movements. Essentially, the frontal lobe helps us think ahead, stay organized, and behave appropriately in social settings. Damage or impairment to this area can affect these abilities, leading to challenges with judgment, personality changes, or difficulty with movement and speech.
