mental functions may be affected when the prefrontal cortex is damaged.
What will be an ideal response?
The prefrontal cortex is the largest and most complex of the association cortices. It is responsible for a person's character or personality. Damage to the prefrontal cortex can be devastating and tends to produce dramatic changes in personality, impulsive behavior with little restraint, difficulty in making plans, and disordered thought processes.
