Study Notes
Brain Functions and Regions
- The basal ganglia is responsible for movement.
Frontal Lobe Functions
- The frontal lobe is involved in predicting the future and reflecting on what we think and do, as well as others' thoughts and actions.
- The frontal lobe is responsible for executive function, including working memory, attention, impulse inhibition, planning, and strategizing.
Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex
- The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is implicated in the case of Phineas Gage and is responsible for evaluating the social, economic, and legal repercussions of an action.
Broca's Area
- Broca's area, located adjacent to the primary motor cortex, is responsible for language production.
Brain Development
- The prefrontal cortex is the last to fully develop and explains the impulsive, risk-taking behavior of younger people.
