  2. Frontal lobe injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe_injury

    Those patients with a mild traumatic brain injury with frontal lobe damage seem to be only slightly affected, if affected at all. Frontal lobe injuries have been shown to cause decreased ability in combining events that are temporally separated (separated by time), as well as recalling information in its correct context.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontal_lobe_disorder

    Frontal lobe disorder, also frontal lobe syndrome, is an impairment of the frontal lobe of the brain due to disease or frontal lobe injury. [5] The frontal lobe plays a key role in executive functions such as motivation, planning, social behaviour, and speech production. Frontal lobe syndrome can be caused by a range of conditions including ...

  4. Dysexecutive syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysexecutive_syndrome

    The most frequent cause of the syndrome is brain damage to the frontal lobe. Brain damage leading to the dysexecutive pattern of symptoms can result from physical trauma such as a blow to the head or a stroke [6] or other internal trauma. It is important to note that frontal lobe damage is not the only cause of the syndrome.

    This personality change is characteristic of damage to the frontal lobe, and was exemplified in the case of Phineas Gage. The frontal lobe is the same part of the brain that is responsible for executive functions such as planning for the future, judgment, decision-making skills, attention span, and inhibition. These functions can decrease ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinhibition

    Disinhibition is a common symptom following brain injury, or lesions, particularly to the frontal lobe and primarily to the orbitofrontal cortex. [4] The neuropsychiatric sequelae following brain injuries could include diffuse cognitive impairment, with more prominent deficits in the rate of information processing, attention, memory, cognitive flexibility, and problem-solving.

    Behavioral and personality changes are also commonly observed due to changes of the brain structure in areas controlling hormones or major emotions. Headaches and pain can occur as a result of a brain injury, either directly from the damage or due to neurological conditions stemming from the injury.

  8. Traumatic brain injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traumatic_brain_injury

    Perhaps the first reported case of personality change after brain injury is that of Phineas Gage, who survived an accident in which a large iron rod was driven through his head, destroying one or both of his frontal lobes; numerous cases of personality change after brain injury have been reported since. [31] [33] [34] [43] [44] [48] [185] [186]

  9. Organic personality disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_personality_disorder

    The most common reason for this profound change in personality is the traumatic brain injury. [6] Children whose brain areas have been injured or damaged, may present with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder or OPD. [7] OPD is most often caused by lesions in three brain areas of frontal lobe: traumatic ...
