To put it simply, the prefrontal cortex is part of the frontal lobe. frontal lobe is one of the four lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. The others include the Occipital Lobe, parietal lobe and the temporal lobe. The frontal lobe is further divided into numerous functional areas which include the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for emotions, concentration and other higher brain functions.

lobus frontal

The frontal lobe is home to our cognitive thinking, and that is the process that determines and shapes the personality of an individual. In humans, the frontal lobe reaches maturity when the individual is around the age of 25. This means that when we are 25 years old, we have reached a level of cognitive maturity.

The frontal lobe consists of the anterior part (prefrontal cortex) and posterior part, and is divided from the parietal lobe by the central sulcus. The anterior part is responsible for higher cognitive functions, and the posterior part consists of the premotor and motor regions, so, that regulates conscious movement. The functions of the frontal lobe include reasoning, planning, organizing thoughts, behavior, sexual drive, emotion, problem solving, judging, organizing part of speaking, and motor skills (movement). The frontal lobe is very susceptible to injury due to its location, such as in front of the central skull.

Prefrontal cortex

Every part of our brain works integrated with each other to produce cognitive functions such as awareness, perception, thinking, and memory.

There are about 75% of our brain consists of cognitive tissue called the cerebral cortex association area

The prefrontal cortex has a function related to the regulation of human personality traits, planning, and consequences of actions. more details about this association area as an area that receives and analyzes signals simultaneously from various regions, from the motor cortex, sensory cortex,
