Frontal Lobe
The frontal lobe specializes in conscious, voluntary behavior. The frontal lobe of the brain has three general divisions:
The prefrontal cortex
The prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe holds the mostly recently evolved section of the human brain. here we find the ability to plan for the future, to solve complex problems, and to express and control emotional behavior.
The premotor cortex
The premotor cortex coordinates complex, skilled movement. It also sequences movement routines.
The motor cortex
The motor cortex instructs voluntary movement.
