frontal lobe injury

A frontal lobe injury occurs when the front part of the brain, responsible for decision-making, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and voluntary movements, is damaged. This can result from trauma like a blow to the head or other events causing brain impact. Symptoms may include difficulty with planning, controlling impulses, changes in personality, problems with movement, or trouble concentrating. The severity and specific effects depend on the extent and location of the injury. Recovery varies, with some functions possibly improving over time or with therapy, but some deficits may persist depending on the severity of the damage.
