Stage: c) taking action
Approaches to learning: Transference and affective skills because I was able to use all the knowledge I acquired about the frontal lobe to write its final definition for my book, I was also able to be persistence even though I faced a lot of stress during the process of writing this book.
During the creation of this entry I found my previous planning of the lobes to be very helpful because it was the base for every definition I wrote about the lobes. I also have to admit that it took me a long amount of time, reflection and a lot of procrastination to finally sit down and be able to write this definition due to the fact that it was the first final definition I have written. In the process I didn't know how to write nor what to write, there was also a lot of pressure because I kept on thinking this would be final, and I practically turned the process of writing this definition into an apocalypse, but eventually, I got over it and was able to write the following:
FRONTAL LOBE: The frontal lobe is one of the four lobes of the human brain, you will find it in the cerebral cortex at the front of the head, it sits on top of the temporal lobe and in front of the parietal lobe. It is basically in charge of your cognitive skills which are the set of abilities your brain has that make a part of every action you perform, such as thinking, problem solving, sexual behavior, and language amongst others.
The frontal lobe is also involved in basic motor functions, they are physical actions that take place when you command them to, such as walking or grabbing an object. Thanks to motor functions, you are able to act upon your body and command it to perform actions, something you wouldn't be able to do if you had a motor skills disorder (elsewhere in the page write a small explanation about it).
In the frontal lobe lies the Broca's area, a region of the brain that is basically in charge of producing language. It is paired with the Wernicke's area that is in charge of comprehending the language spoken. Damage to the Broca's area can result in problems moving the tongue or facial muscles.
The orbitofrontal cortex makes a part of the frontal lobe as well, it's job is to control impulses, in other words, an injury to the will result in you turning into premature human being unable to behave correctly according to the situation.
Even though it is the last part of the brain to develop in young adulthood, in humans it is larger and more developed than in any other organism. Making us quite unique and the frontal lobe very important, for instance, in the case that any harm is inflicted to the frontal lobe, we would be facing consequences such as changes in personality, difficulties controlling facial expressions or problems assessing risk and danger.
There are four very important regions in the frontal lobe; the medial frontal lobe, the lateral frontal lobe, the polar region and the orbital frontal lobe. The medial frontal lobe is the region that contains the cingulate gyrus, a very important part of the limbic system, as well as the frontal gyrus, which is thought to be in charge of self awareness according to researchers. The lateral frontal lobe is a part that aids in self awareness and language processing. In the polar region lie the frontomarginal gyrus and the transverse frontopolar gyri. Finally, the orbital frontal lobe is connected to the vagus nerve, which makes a part of the limbic system, it coordinates emotional and automatic reactions.
