In this case‚ if the “miracle” drug targeted the frontal lobe some possible consequences would be problems with motor functions‚ issues with problem solving skills‚ issues with memory and language‚ and changes in emotional control that could cause impulsive and rash behavior. If the drug only affected the occipital lobe it would cause the loss of visual capability‚ loss of ability to identify colors‚ and it could cause hallucinations

Portfolio Lobotomy The Lobotomy is a form of Neurosurgery which focuses on altering the prefrontal lobe: its procedure involved cutting singing or scraping away cords associated with the brain that engage emotional response and it was viewed as a means of also cutting out mental illness.

It was particularly prevalent

The brain of an average human being contains 100 billion nerve cells or neurons. Billions more are found in other parts of the nervous system. Neurons come in all different sizes and shapes‚ but they all seem to be specialized to receive and transmit information. Neurons are made of neurons which contains chromosomes and genes‚ a cytoplasm which keeps the cells alive and a cell membrane that encloses the whole cell. Neurons are different from other cells because they have small fibers that branch
