Frontal lobe
The frontal cortex is the largest of the four lobes of the cerebral cortex and its functions are correspondingly comprehensive. The front area, known as the prefrontal cortex, is responsible for complex action planning (known as executive functions), which also shapes our personality. Its development (myelination) takes up to 30 years and even then is not yet complete. Other important components of the frontal cortex are Broca's area, which controls our ability to express ourselves linguistically, and the primary motor cortex, which sends movement impulses throughout the body.
