Evaluation of the Functions of the Frontal Lobe in various neurological and psychiatric pathologies

The frontal lobes are crucial in understanding our identity as human beings, our motivations, our ambitions, and our essence. Its extensive and complex neural connections enable a wide range of functions, including abstract reasoning, mental flexibility, inhibitory control, problem solving, multitasking, memory, theory of mind, and empathy, among many others. It is one of the main objectives of the Neuropsychology Research Laboratory to understand this important portion of our brain in various neurological and psychiatric pathologies that include Frontotemporal Dementia, frontal injuries, Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia, among others.
