Detailed explanation-1: -Your prefrontal cortex is in charge of “executive functions, ” such as thinking and problem-solving. It also supervises and directs other areas of your brain. Broca’s area is a part of your frontal lobe that’s involved with speech production.
Detailed explanation-2: -The frontal lobe is responsible for initiating and coordinating motor movements; higher cognitive skills, such as problem solving, thinking, planning, and organizing; and for many aspects of personality and emotional makeup.
Detailed explanation-3: -The frontal lobe is separated from the parietal lobe by a space called the central sulcus, and from the temporal lobe by the lateral sulcus. The frontal lobe is generally where higher executive functions including emotional regulation, planning, reasoning and problem solving occur.
Detailed explanation-4: -It extends from the area behind the forehead back to the precentral gyrus. As a whole, the frontal lobe is responsible for higher cognitive functions such as memory, emotions, impulse control, problem solving, social interaction, and motor function.
