| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | The role of the frontal lobe in control of behavioral and cognitive abilities is explored in a group of 34
patients with brain lesions restricted to the prefrontal cortex. The scores in both structured behavioral
questionnaires and standard neuropsychological tests were analyzed using the injured area of the frontal lobe
as the independent variable. Our results show that patients with simultaneous lesions in supero– and
inferomedial areas of the prefrontal cortex exhibit higher behavioral disturbances. Bilateral lesions also are
associated with greater behavioral troubles. On the contrary, cognitive abilities are globally impaired in
prefrontal patients. Results are discussed in relation to current models of the organization of the prefrontal
cortex and its role on behavior control. | en |
