Question: what does the frontal lobe of the brain do?

Joanna Brooks answered on 23 Jun 2010:

Hello! The frontal lobe is situated at the front of the brain and is involved in things like emotion, motivation, attention, and moral reasoning. If you damage the frontal lobe you may start to behave in a very strange way – you might lose your good manners and stop behaving in the ‘normal’ way. You might respond to a sad situation by laughing for example.
