Lesions of the Prefrontal Cortex

The prefrontal cortex of the prefrontal cortex contains multiple functions. It is called the area of ​​the brain and has "execution control" for receiving input from other areas of the brain and applying these functions in combination (Kalat 2004). Lesions in the forehead area may significantly damage the apparent behavior of the affected area. These flaws depend on the severity of the lesion and the specific area of ​​the prefrontal cortex where the lesion is located (ventricle, dorsal, prefrontal and prefrontal cortex) (Eslinger 2003).

IEDs may also be associated with prefrontal lesions, including increased incidence of damage, impulsivity and aggressive behavior to these areas, including the amygdala, as well as failure to predict the outcome of individual's own behavior. Lesions in these areas are also associated with insufficient glycemic control and result in a reduction in brain function in these areas, which is related to planning and decision-making. In the US sample, we estimate that 16 million Americans meet the criteria for improvisational explosive devices

Damage to the cortical-striatal route has a specific effect on behavior. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is connected to the center of the caudate nucleus. Any nodules or lesions connecting the white matter pathways can lead to poor organization and planning, reduced cognitive flexibility, and impairment of working memory. The temporal frontal cortex is connected to the ventral medial caudate muscle. Damage to this system causes impulses, distraction and release inhibition. The anterior cingulate cortex protrudes toward the nucleus accumbens and disruption of these connections results in indifference, lack of utterance, and even dynamic silence. All cortical striatal systems also include terrestrial tissues that pass through the globus pallidus and the thalamus and these nodular lesions can also reproduce the clinical syndrome of corticostriatal damage.

Competition theory on prefrontal categorization method. In a general classification, the cortex is resolved into the ventral prefrontal cortex associated with the dorsal prefrontal cortex and the emotional-related brain region associated with the cerebral area of ​​caution and cognition. The prefrontal cortex is also a repository of wake-up information that explains why the prefrontal cortex is involved in the control of attention and distraction. Most neurologists believe that the prefrontal cortex is fully developed around 25 years of age.
