“In probability conditions in the present study‚ however‚ many more cells throughout the frontal lobe responded to the presence or Absence of reward than to violations of expectancy‚ or to probability or uncertainty. Given the static nature of the current task‚ where outcomes should not be required to guide subsequent choices‚ one interesting possibility is that this relates to a role for the frontal lobe in evaluating the usefulness

Henry Turner was an accomplished lawyer who was shot in his right frontal lobe and also suffered from a lack of oxygen to his brain for some time. The right frontal lobe is responsible for many non-verbal abilities (neuroskills.com). Damage to this area can cause pseudopsychopathy. Childish behavior and a lack of tact characterize this condition. Evidence of this damage

"How can the study of brain damage inform our understanding of the human brain? The study of brain injury is an imperative tool when trying to understand the in-depth workings of “the most complex object in the known universe”. We have been studying the brain for thousands of years. From Hippocrates in 468BC‚ describing epilepsy as a disturbance of the brain‚ to our modern day MRI and CT scans able to image the brain in great detail our knowledge is always growing. However the study of

The prefrontal cortex is a complex and highly developed part of the brain making up the majority of the frontal lobe (Bear‚ Connors & Paradiso‚ 2001). It is believed that the prefrontal cortex is involved in the regulation of cognition and behaviour therefore playing a key role in our emotions and social interactions.
