Answer 1

Answer:

prefrontal cortex

Explanation:

Part of the brain called the prefrontal cortex is located at the frontal part of the brain and in the frontal lobe, as shown in the picture below.

This part of the brain, in particular, is in charge of

• most of the cognitive behaviors
• movements
• expressions
• attention
• problem-solving
• parts of memory
• emotional responses
• organization
• planing
• problem-solving
• modeling social behavior

Those who suffer the damage have problems with movements and sensory perception, and as this part affects memory and thinking, these damages can cause intelligence problems, personality changes, and different emotional responses.
