The Frontal Lobes: Anatomy, function & dysfunction

This engaging and informative lecture by clinical neuroanatomist Dr. Coenie Hattingh offers a comprehensive overview of the anatomy and function of the frontal lobes, as well as the neuropsychological impact of frontal lobe dysfunction. Drawing on clinical and anatomical knowledge, Dr. Hattingh explores how damage to different regions of the frontal lobes can lead to specific cognitive, behavioural, and emotional syndromes.
