Why trauma to the base of the brain is often much more dangerous than trauma to the frontal lobes?
the frontal lobes mostly control motor skills and personality, which are less important for survival than the other parts of the brain. in the back specifically there is the reticular activating system which processes and interprets stimuli. trauma to the R.A.S. can cause it to misinterpret the information it gets, essentially rendering the entire brain useless.

Explain why trauma to the base of the brain is often more dangerous than trauma to the frontal lobes?
base of the brain is where the spinal cord attaches, and where the medulla resides, and injuries to the base of the brain are not easily treated. with the frontal lobe pieces of the skull can be removed to help with swelling then replaced later, however that process cannot be accomplished at the base site. and most base injuries involve the spinal cord which would paralyze the body and cannot be cured.

The brain stem and back of the brain are responsible for the basic functions of the body. This region allows you to move, digest food, maintain body temperature, keep breathing, and keeps your heart pumping. The frontal lobe is responsible higher order reasoning. The frontal lobe is what makes us human. If you remove the frontal lobe you remove a large portion of the conscious human being, but you do not threaten the survival of the individual.
