Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Damage to this area, as seen in the examples of Phineas Gage and Elliott, can result in an inability to process and experience emotions appropriately. The other options (temporal lobe, hippocampus, and limbic system) are also involved in emotion processing and regulation, but they are not specifically associated with the examples given in the question.
