The Frontal Lobe of the brain - It regulates decision making, problem solving, control of purposeful behaviors, consciousnesses and emotions. It is also one of the four major divisions of the cerebral cortex.
People describe it as:
-Our emotional Control Center
-"Home of our personality"
Right Side:
-Controls non verbal activites
Left Side:
-Controls language and related movement
Division of the Frontal Lobes:
-Prefontal Cortex- personality expression, planning of complex cognitive behaviors
-Premotor and Motor Area- nerves that control voluntary muscle movement

I've been reading a lot recently and I find it kind of interesting that many of the books have focused on how we perceive people. Our minds like to sort things into categories, right? And we as humans judge people and sort them based on how we think they are based on dress, attitude, where they live etc...And despite the fact that we may really truly think we know someone to the core, like a friend or relative, there is a good chance that we don't. I'm not really sure how to explain what I mean other than to say that don't just assume you know someone because you hang out with them occasionally. They may be a completely different person. And don't expect them to be anyone else but them selves, because often we create an image in our minds of who they should be. And its wrong to do that. Don't compare people, because there is no comparison.
