Quick Facts
This lobe is located at the anterior end of each cerebral hemisphere. The function of this lobe involves higher mental functions. This includes the ability to determine similarities and differences, recognize consequences from actions, and to suppress unacceptable social responses. This is where most of the dopamine sensitive neurons are found. These neurons are associated with planning, reward, attention and short term memory.
