Abstract

The brain is the most likely site of humanoid psyche. Even the faintest of injury taken to the head can change dramatically the personae of the afflicted individual. Localization of function and factors affecting the development of the brain and its psyche could allow us to have substantial advantage over emotional and behavioral control of our newest progeny. This ongoing series of volume will try to sum the amount of knowledge hold by experts in this massive field.

Volume Subject: Frontal lobes.

The term “frontal lobes” defines a structural entity, the anterior one-third of the brain, but does not emphasize that the brain is an integrated functioning unit. The term “frontal systems” reflects a more interactive concept, but again emphasizes the anatomical base. There is a growing awareness that frontal lobe mental processes may be described as psychological constructs rather than as anatomically localized functions.

The aging process may result in apparently impaired abilities in planning, selective attention, and other higher order abilities. These problems have been attributed both to focal frontal dysfunction and to diffuse degeneration.

These developing abilities reflect our cognitive control applied by the frontal systems by the more primitive and mammal aspect of our brain. Failure in control by either suppressing emotional aspects to behavior or inappropriate expression of emotion (i.e. joy in criminality) might be linked to defects in the maturation of the frontal lobes.

Further aspects should be experimented upon in order to understand emotional self-control of normal individuals and how they differ anatomically and in behavior to criminal or psychotic minds. If behavioral, cognitive and anatomical correlations could be found, it would help greatly in removing factors which affect the development of dysfunctional Frontal lobes by removing these elements from society.
