Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The frontal cortex is responsible for a variety of functions including personality, decision-making, and social behavior. Damage to this area can result in changes to an individual's personality. Choices A and B are unlikely as damage to the frontal cortex would not affect communication between hemispheres or basic bodily functions such as breathing and seeing. Choice D is also incorrect as axons are an essential component of the nervous system and cannot be completely eliminated without severe consequences.
