What is "frontal cortex"?

The frontal cortex, also known as the frontal lobe, is a vital part of the brain involved in higher-level cognitive processes and complex behaviors. It is responsible for functions such as attention, planning, reasoning, and emotional regulation. The frontal cortex also plays a significant role in personality development, social interactions, and self-awareness. It is often referred to as the "control center" of the brain, as it helps coordinate and regulate various cognitive and behavioral functions.
