Study Notes

Brain Functions

  • The frontal lobe is responsible for movement and simulation.
  • The primary function of the prefrontal cortex is decision-making, planning, and problem-solving.
  • Neurons responsible for movement are located in the primary motor cortex.
  • The orbital frontal cortex is responsible for behavioral inhibition, which involves suppressing impulsive behaviors.
  • The orbital frontal cortex is also involved in emotion regulation and impulse control.
  • Language production is primarily controlled by Broca's area, located in the frontal lobe of the left hemisphere.
