The frontal cortex is a region of the brain located at the front of the cerebral cortex, responsible for higher cognitive functions such as decision-making, problem-solving, planning, and impulse control. It is also involved in controlling movement and emotions. Research on the frontal cortex aims to understand how this region of the brain influences behavior, cognition, and emotion, and how dysfunction in this area may contribute to various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Studies on the frontal cortex often use techniques such as neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and behavioral assessments to examine its function and role in brain function.
