Summary
The frontal lobe is in charge of complex cognitive processes, called executive functions. These functions are mental operations which go to an end and allow a behavioral control, that is to say, they make possible that we can choose, plan and take voluntary and conscious decisions. The prefrontal cortex has the decisive role in the executive functions by integrating the information and allowing the choice of objectives and the organization of the action plans to do them. It constitutes a cerebral region which is one of the most philogenetically recent and it is the last one to mature in the ontogenesis, the most developed in the evolutionary scale [1]. Self-control is an important function of the frontal lobe
