What affect does marijuana have on dementia?
Research suggests that marijuana may have a mixed impact on dementia. While some studies indicate that certain compounds in marijuana may have neuroprotective effects, others suggest that long-term use may worsen cognitive function in individuals with dementia. More research is needed to fully understand the relationship between marijuana use and dementia.

Left frontal lobe damage can lead to difficulties with language and speech production, as well as problems with organization, planning, and decision-making. It can also impact emotional control and result in mood swings or changes in personality. Treatment may involve speech therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and medication to manage symptoms.
Describe how the brain uses cues from the environment to form conclusions?
The frontal lobe is most heavily involved in processing cues and information in a way that rational decisions can be made. With frontal lobe lesions, rational decision making is often significantly impaired (especially the more severe the lesion or deficit).
What systems are affected by ADHD?

What lobe of the brain can a person live without?

What are the 4 parts of cerebral cortex?
The brain is composed of four parts: the Cerebrum, the Cerebellum, the Brain Stem, and the Diencephalon. The Cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres (left, right) and four lobes: temporal, parietal, occipital, and frontal. The Brain stem is composed of the Medulla Oblongata, the Pons, and the Midbrain. The Diencephalon contains the Thalamus, Hypothalamus, and Epithalamus.
Why is the trauma to the base of the brain much more dangerous than trauma to the frontal lobes which contain centers more vital to life?
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.
What is the location of the frontal lobe of the brain?
The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of humans and other mammals, located at the front of each cerebral hemisphere and positioned anterior to (in front of) the parietal lobe and superior and anterior to the temporal lobes. It is separated from the parietal lobe by a space between tissues called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by a deep fold called the lateral (Sylvian) sulcus. The post-central gyrus, forming the posterior border of the frontal lobe, contains the primary motor cortex, which controls voluntary movements of specific body parts.
What are the effects that would attribute to frontal lobe damage?
The frontal lobe contains the personality and perception of time and space. Damaging the frontal lobe would probably change a persons personality. A pre-frontal lobotomy has been preformed on patients that had excessive behaviors. The procedure, now abandoned, made the patients meek, useless and sometimes just staring into space.

Is the back parietal bone or front frontal bone of the skull more vulnerable?
Both these bones form a part of the skull that protects the brain. The frontal lobe constituets the cerebrum which is important for thinking and reasoning processes. The parietal lobe constituets the cerebellum and medulla oblongata which is important for involuntary activities and muscle and nerve contraction chemistry. If anyone is affected, it is harmful for the body. As for vulnerablity, the back portion is more sensitive because it causes immediate death and injury to the frontal lobe causes memory loss.
