The function of the frontal lobe involves the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, the choice between good and bad actions (or better and best), the override and suppression of socially unacceptable responses, and the determination of similarities and differences between things or events.

The precentral gyrus of this cerebral lobe is the major motor cortex?

The precentral gyrus is located in the frontal lobe of the brain and is also known as the primary motor cortex. It plays a key role in controlling voluntary movements of the body.


What part of the brian controls conscious experience and intelligence?

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) located in the anterior part of the frontal lobe is responsible for higher cortical functions of the brain such as intellectual functions, thinking, reasoning, judgement, problem-solving, social behavior and even emotion. It is also called the frontal association area.


Are the frontal lobes and frontal cortex the same?

The Cerebrum is the largest part of the brain consisting of the four lobes of the brain. These are the parietal lobe, occipital lobe, frontal lobe, and the temporal lobe. Each lobe carries many different responsibilities. A few of these are as follows: Frontal lobe- reasoning, planning, emotions, speech, and movements. Temporal Lobe- memory, speach, auditory stimuli, and perception and recognition. The parietal lobe-orientation, recognition, stimuli. The Occipital Lobe-visual processing. The Cerebral Cortex is the material filling the grooves seen in brain images. It is responsible for many different senses such as memory, attention, awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. Alot of the movements associated with the cerebral cortex are voluntary, but not all are.


How many functional divisions are in the cerebral cortex?

The cerebral cortex is typically divided into four functional divisions: the motor cortex, sensory cortex, association cortex, and visual cortex. Each division plays a specific role in processing different types of information and functions within the brain.


What are the four lobes of the cerebral cortex?

There are four main lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital.


Is the cerebral cortex in the midbrain?

No, the cerebral cortex is not in the midbrain. The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain and is located in the forebrain. The midbrain is a smaller region of the brainstem located below the cerebral cortex.
