This indicates damage (either from trauma,dementia conditions, vascular causes or tumors, and more rarely from infections) to the left portion of the frontal lobe (area) of the brain.
Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere of the brain, typically the left hemisphere in right-handed individuals. It plays a crucial role in speech production and language processing.
The left frontal lobe.
Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe of the brain, usually in the left hemisphere. It plays a crucial role in speech production and language processing. Damage to this area can result in expressive language difficulties known as Broca's aphasia.
The prefrontal cortex is the section of the brain responsible for making decisions. It is involved in complex cognitive behavior, decision making, and moderating social behavior. Damage to this area can lead to difficulties in decision-making and impulse control.
The Frontal Lobe
Broca's area is located in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere of the brain, typically the left hemisphere in right-handed individuals. It plays a crucial role in speech production and language processing.
The left frontal lobe.
After a stroke, failure to move the right arm usually suggests damage to the left frontal lobe, specifically the primary motor cortex. The motor cortex controls voluntary movements, and each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. So, injury to the left frontal lobe can lead to weakness or paralysis of the right arm.
Phineas Gage damaged his frontal lobe in the accident. Specifically, the accident resulted in severe damage to his prefrontal cortex, which led to significant changes in his personality and behavior.
The back of the head is usually the parietal lobe and occipital lobe.

The production of speech is very complex and involves many parts of the brain, but the Broca's area of the left frontal lobe of the cerebrum is responsible for its final production. Why is it on the left and not the right? There may be no other answer as to why.
The prefrontal cortex is the section of the brain responsible for making decisions. It is involved in complex cognitive behavior, decision making, and moderating social behavior. Damage to this area can lead to difficulties in decision-making and impulse control.
Frontal lobotomy is surgical incision into the frontal lobe of the brain.
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.
