What does the brain's frontal lobe do?
Frontal LobeThe frontal lobe:==> Controls impulses==> Controls judgment==> Language production==> Working memory==> Motor function==> Working the memory==> Problem solving==> Socialization==> Spontaneities==> Planning==> Coordination==> Controlling==> Executing behaviorPeople who damage the frontal lobe might be unable to plan or make good judgments, and some people believe damage to this area causes most brain defects.1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe
What does the frontal lobe controle?
Simply put, the frontal lobes control decision-making, planning, inhibition of behaviours (based on decision-making) and to some extent, are involve in emotional processing. The frontal lobes are thought to be immature until as late as early 20's.
What is one fucntion in the frontal lobe?
The biggest and most advanced part of the brain is the frontal lobe. (It's called the frontal lobe because it's in the front part of brain.) One job of the frontal lobe is planning. You have probably heard of "frontal lobotomies." At the turn of the century, this surgery was done on people who were very violent or who were in a psychiatric hospital because they were very agitated. Doctors used surgery to damage this area of the brain. Following this surgery, people became very passive and less violent. At first, scientists saw this as a great thing. Neurosurgery could stop behavioral problems such as violence. The problem was that the patients stopped doing a lot of other things. They didn't take care of themselves and they stopped many activities of daily living. They basically sat there. In head injury, individuals with frontal lobe impairment seem to lack motivation and have difficulty doing any task that requires multiple steps (e.g., fixing a car or planning a meal). They have problems with planning.The frontal lobe is also involved in organizing. For a lot of activities, we need to do step A, then step B, then step C. We have to do things in order. That's what the frontal lobes help us do. When the frontal lobe is injured, there is a breakdown in the ability to sequence and organize. A common example is people who cook and leave out a step in the sequence. They forget to add an important ingredient or they don't turn the stove off. I've met a lot of patients who've burned or melted a lot of pans.Additionally, the frontal lobes also play a very important role in controlling emotions. Deep in the middle of the brain are sections that control emotions. They're very primitive emotions that deal with hunger, aggression, and sexual drive. These areas send messages to other parts of the brain to DO SOMETHING. If you're mad, hit something or someone. If you're hungry, grab something and eat it. The frontal lobes "manage" emotions. In general, the frontal lobe has a NO or STOP function. If your emotions tell you to punch your boss, it's the frontal lobes that say "STOP or you are going to lose your job." People have often said to me "a little thing will set me off and I'm really mad." The frontal lobes failed to stop or turn off the emotional system.On the other hand, we have talked about how the frontal lobes plan activities. The frontal lobes may fail to plan for some types of emotion. For example, sexual interest involves some level of planning or preparation. Without this planning, there is a lack of sexual interest. A lack of planning can also affect the expression of anger. I've had some family members say "You know, the head injury actually improved him, he's not such a hot-head anymore." If you listen very carefully, you're also going to hear "he's not as motivated anymore." Remember, the frontal lobe plans activities as well as controls emotions.
Can you use promethazine for dementia patients?
Promethazine is an antihistamine commonly used to treat allergies, nausea, and motion sickness, but it is not typically recommended for dementia patients due to potential side effects. It can cause sedation and confusion, which may exacerbate cognitive decline and increase the risk of falls. Additionally, anticholinergic medications like promethazine can worsen dementia symptoms. Always consult a healthcare professional before administering any medication to dementia patients.
What lobe in the brain affected when you have migraine?
All of them can be affected. It is really the blood vessels that are affected which then can affect any of the lobes when there is less oxygen in the blood vessel due to the swelling of the blood vessel wall.
Can the damage to the left frontal lobe be cured?
Yes, an individual can survive the removal of the left side of the frontal lobe, although they would likely have many impairments, some of which might include deficits in problem solving and decision making abilities.
Can Sinior Citizens get diagnosed with dementia?
Yes, you can get diagnosed with dementia at that age, although its not as common as it is in elderly people. I would recommend asking your doctor if you feel that you have any symptoms of dementia.
What herbal remedy has been used to improve dementia?
As of 2003, the FDA had approved four prescription medications for treatment of Alzheimer's. Tacrine, donepezil, riviastigmine, and galantamine are cholinesterase inhibitors that enhance memory.

Where is forebrain located in the brain?
The prefrontal cortex is located at the very front of your brain. It is in front of your frontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex takes the longest to develop out of any parts of your brain. Its primary function is decision making.
What body functions may be affected by a right CVA?
there is much room for error in answering this question. the size of the bleed is important (whether small or large). the type of bleed is important (subarachnoid, subdural, epidural). which specific area of the bleed is important. you stated it was on the front right side. this says the frontal lobe would definitely sustain damage. how much damage depends on the factors stated above. if it was far to the right and quite large, it may also have affected the temporal lobe. specific damages occurring when the frontal lobe is injured can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe. other factors are how long from the time of rupture until treatment and how great the pressure build up inside the brain. everything is dependent on certain information. general answers to what is affected when the frontal lobe is damaged can be found at the above link, but each case is different when an aneurysm rupture is involved.
