Inappropriate social behavior becomes careless of dress and appearance. Which lobe is affected?
A
limbic lobe
B
insula
C
superior parietal lobule
D
prefrontal cortex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The prefrontal cortex is a part of the brain located at the front of the frontal lobe. It is implicated in a variety of complex behaviors, including planning, and greatly contributes to personality development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evidence indicates that the right inferior frontal cortex (IFC) is important in behavioral inhibition, including cognitive processes, social behavior, and inhibition of motor responses.

Detailed explanation-3: -The prefrontal cortex can guide behavior through projections that engage mechanisms of excitation and inhibition in other cortices and subcortical structures. Pathology of lateral prefrontal cortices, as seen in schizophrenia, disrupts the ability to focus on relevant stimuli and ignore distractors.
