frontal lobe syndrome

Frontal lobe syndrome refers to a set of changes in behavior and thinking caused by damage or injury to the frontal part of the brain. This area is responsible for skills such as decision-making, planning, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and social behavior. When affected, individuals may experience impulsivity, difficulty concentrating, poor judgment, emotional instability, and a lack of motivation or social awareness. The severity varies depending on the extent of the damage, but overall, it impacts a person’s ability to regulate their behavior and make thoughtful decisions.
