  1. Where is the frontal cortex located? Answer: The frontal cortex is located in the frontal lobe of the brain.

  2. What functions does the frontal cortex control? Answer: The frontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, such as decision making, planning, problem solving, predicting outcomes, and regulating emotions.

  3. What type of neurons are located in the frontal cortex? Answer: The frontal cortex is composed of different types of neurons, including pyramidal neurons, interneurons, and projection neurons.

  4. What are the three major cortical regions of the frontal cortex? Answer: The three major cortical regions of the frontal cortex are the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex.

  5. What is the Broca’s area? Answer: Broca’s area is a motor speech area located in the ventral part of the frontal cortex responsible for producing verbal language.

  6. What is the precentral gyrus? Answer: The precentral gyrus is a region of the frontal cortex responsible for voluntary motor control and movement.

  7. What is the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex responsible for? Answer: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is responsible for working memory and goal-oriented behaviour, such as decision making, planning and problem-solving.

  8. What is the medial prefrontal cortex responsible for? Answer: The medial prefrontal cortex is responsible for emotion regulation, social behaviour, and self-control.

  9. What neurotransmitters are most active in the frontal cortex? Answer: The neurotransmitters most active in the frontal cortex are glutamate, acetylcholine, norepinephrine, GABA, dopamine, and serotonin.

  10. What is the arcuate fasciculus? Answer: The arcuate fasciculus is a white matter bundle of axons located between the temporal and frontal lobes responsible for language processing and motor speech.

  11. What is the orbital cortex? Answer: The orbital cortex is a part of the prefrontal cortex responsible for processing rewards, risk-assessment, and social behaviour.

  12. What is the cingulate cortex? Answer: The cingulate cortex is a part of the frontal cortex located between the two hemispheres responsible for regulating many different cognitive processes such as attention, motivation, and emotion.

  13. What is the primary motor cortex? Answer: The primary motor cortex is a region of the frontal cortex responsible for generating commands for voluntary movement.

  14. What is the prefrontal cortex responsible for? Answer: The prefrontal cortex is responsible for executive functions, such as decision making, planning, problem solving, predicting outcomes, and regulating emotions.

  15. What is the inferior frontal gyrus? Answer: The inferior frontal gyrus is a part of the frontal cortex located in the inferior frontal lobe responsible for language processing, such as comprehending and understanding spoken words.
