The frontal lobes occupy a third of the cerebral cortex in humans. The frontal lobe represents the most important neuroanatómica basis of the human complex behavior, where there are represented the larger differences that differentiate us from the rest of animals. It has been demonstrated that the signs of frontal dysfunction are well represented in dementias of subcortical pattern, whose prototype well can be Parkinson's disease. in Parkinson's disease the degenerative process involves the frontal lobes with different areas involved as the motor and premotor cortex, and dorsolateral and cingular areas, resulting in the appearance of classical frontal syndromes, furthermore demonstrates the affectation of different ways and neurotransmitters involved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
