What are the functions of Frontal Lobe?

Frontal Lobe is the most anterior lobe of the brain.


• posterior boundary is the fissure of Rolando, or central sulcus,


which separates it from the parietal lobe


• Inferiorly, it is divided from the temporal lobe by the fissure of


Sylvius which is also called the lateral fissure.


• This lobe deals with higher level cognitive functions like reasoning


and judgment.


• The frontal lobe contains several cortical areas involved in the


control of voluntary muscle movement, including those necessary


for the production of speech and swallowing.
