Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which part of the brain controls personality?
A
frontal
B
parietal
C
temporal
D
occipital
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The frontal lobes are considered our behaviour and emotional control centre and home to our personality. There is no other part of the brain where lesions can cause such a wide variety of symptoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior.

Detailed explanation-3: -Focal frontal lobe disorders can cause more readily predictable changes in personality: orbitofrontal cortex lesions usually lead to a disinhibited, acquired sociopathy; dorsolateral cortex lesions disrupt organization, planning, and judgment; and disruption of anterior cingulate gyri results in apathy.
