Overview

The frontal lobe is the largest of the brain's four lobes, located at the front of the cerebral cortex, and is responsible for many of the higher-order cognitive and behavioral functions that define human thought and personality. It plays a central role in motor control, planning, decision-making, problem-solving, working memory, attention, language production, and the regulation of emotion and social behavior. Because of these wide-ranging responsibilities, damage to the frontal lobe from injury, tumor, stroke, or disease can produce diverse deficits affecting movement, cognition, personality, and emotional control. Lesions in this region may also have important psychiatric manifestations, underscoring the close relationship between frontal-lobe function and mental health. Reflecting its focus on medical and psychological trauma, this journal publishes research relevant to the frontal lobe and related neural structures, including the psychopathology of frontal-lobe brain tumors at the interface of neurosurgery and psychiatry, orbitocranial injury involving the frontal region, the microanatomy of thalamic radiations, statistical analysis of malignant brain neoplasms, reversible posterior encephalopathy syndrome, delayed diagnosis of glioblastoma, and temporal-lobe atrophy in cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease, illustrating anatomical, oncological, neurosurgical, and neuropsychiatric perspectives on brain structure and trauma.
