Brain Functions and Areas Assessment

Dr. Mike provides an in-depth look at the frontal lobe, detailing its anatomical and functional divisions. He explains the roles of sulci and gyri, the primary motor cortex, and the motor homunculus. The video also covers the motor association cortex, including Broca's area for language production, and the frontal eye field for tracking objects. Finally, the prefrontal cortex's role in behavior, emotion, and cognition is discussed, highlighting its importance in social contexts.
