  Frontal Lobe Function
The frontal lobes are involved in motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and social and sexual behavior.
The frontal lobes are extremely vulnerable to injury due to their location at the front of the cranium, proximity to the sphenoid wing and their large size.
The left frontal lobe is involved in controlling language related movement, whereas the right frontal lobe plays a role in non-verbal abilities.

  Psychopathology of Frontal Lobe Syndromes
Their increasing significance and clinical relevance is noted by the recent publication of several monographs on frontal lobe syndromes (5,6) and the growing literature on various frontal lobe disorders, for example, frontal lobe dementias and frontal lobe epilepsies.
The frontal lobes are anatomically represented by those areas of the cortex anterior to the central sulcus, including the main cortical areas fur the control of motor behavior.
The paradigm of frontal lobe dementia is that described by Pick in 1892, which was associated with circumscribed atrophy of both the frontal and temporal lobes.

 SparkNotes: Brain Anatomy: Frontal Lobe
The frontal lobe is one of the four lobes of the human brain.
The frontal lobe is responsible for a number of higher-order functions, such as planning and inhibition, and is considered to be the seat of working memory.
In addition, the study found increased activity in areas of the temporal lobe, which is not surprising since the hippocampus, a structure well-known for its involvement in memory, and its adjacent pathways are located in the temporal lobe.

 Lobe Pumps
Lobe pumps are used in a variety of industries including, pulp and paper, chemical, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology.
Lobe pumps are similar to external gear pumps in operation in that fluid flows around the interior of the casing.
Since the lobes do not make contact, and clearances are not as close as in other PD pumps, this design handles low viscosity liquids with diminished performance.

 Frontal lobe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The frontal lobe is an area in the brain of vertebrates.
People that have damaged frontal lobes may experience problems with these aspects of cognitive function, being at times impulsive; impaired in their ability to plan and execute complex sequences of actions; perhaps persisting with one course of action or pattern of behavior when a change would be appropriate (perseveration).
The frontal lobes have rich neuronal input from both the alert centers in the brain-stem, and from the limbic regions.

 Lobe Dynamics / A Dynamical Systems Approach to Transport in Geophysical Flows
Lobe dynamics can be used in the setting of an analytically defined velocity field (dynamical system) or in the case where the dynamical system is given in the form of a "data file", such as the output of a numerical simulation or a remote-sensing experiment.
The boundary is constructed from pieces of two special curves: an unstable manifold emanating from the western boundary, and a stable manifold emanating from the eastern boundary.
Since these lobes are the sole mechanism for intergyre transport, their movement and geometrical shape give a complete description of the intergyre transport process.

 Liver Lobe Torsion
Torsion of the caudate lobe of the liver in Oryctolagus cuniculus.
Death was attributed to liver lobe torsion in a rabbit which had a torsion of the posterior lobule of the left hepatic lobe (Wilson, 1987).
On necropsy, the affected lobule was enlarged and characterized microscopically by diffuse coagulative necrosis of the hepatocytes and stroma, a description identical to that of the caudate lobe torsion observed by Fitzgerald and Fitzgerald.

 Check Your Lobe Centers, Ma'am?
The usable range of lobe center values for just about all commonly used engines is only about 15 degrees wide from about 98 to 112 degrees and for the engines we use, the right spread is even smaller than that.
The lobe center on this cam is 105 degrees.
To change the lobe center, loosen the sprocket attach bolts and move the crankshaft slightly to alter it’s relationship to the cam.

The lobes are characterised by a discrete connection with the first subdivision of the bronchial tree after the level of the principal bronchi to both lungs - these are the lobar bronchi.
Indeed, pathology may be confined to one lobe and corrective surgery may be facilitated by the clear demarcation between lobes produced by the fissures.
Further, the lobes are subdivided into bronchopulmonary segments which are volumes of lung with an organized arrangement relative to each other within a lobe and similar functional independence as the lobes.

 Interview with Jim Lobe, Inter Press Service, Washington Bureau Chief | Echo Chamber Project
LOBE: Well, I would say that my audience broadened after 9/11 because I was particularly interested in the rise of neo-conservatives within the administration and the campaign I felt that they were waging outside the administration.
LOBE: I mean, there is also an argument that I’ve heard, especially in Europe, is that -- I think Human Rights Watch is right that there should be -- to say that there is a number of criteria that should be satisfied before you decide to defy the UN Security Council.
LOBE: Well, I think the story of the day today is that the CIA failed massively, and particularly on the weapons issue.

 Epilepsy and Temporal Lobe Resection Treatment
In this procedure, brain tissue in the temporal lobe is resected, or cut away, to remove the seizure focus.
Temporal lobe resection may be an option for people with epilepsy whose seizures are disabling and/or not controlled by medication, or when the side effects of medication are severe and significantly affect the person's quality of life.
Temporal lobe resection is successful in eliminating or significantly reducing seizures in 70% to 90% of patients.

 Frontal Lobe Syndrome
Frontal lobe syndrome is a disorder affecting the prefrontal areas of the frontal lobe.
The prefrontal lobe comprises the vast area of the frontal lobe anterior to the motor cortex and includes the undersurface of the frontal lobe, or the orbital region.
The frontal lobe syndrome patient's memory is normal, but absentmindedness may lead to the appearance of a memory deficit as the patient literally "forgets to remember" and has the inability to focus attention long enough to form the rudiments of memory.

 Perception Lobe
The purpose of the perception lobe appears to be to summarise everything that a norn can 'perceive' into one brain lobe so the norn can eventually store concepts and memories based upon these perceptions (done in the concept lobe).
With the perception lobe there is more than two lobes that need to be summarised so it appears a mechanism specifically for dealing with the perception lobe was built.
The perception lobe must have a number of cells equal to or greater than the total number of cells in all lobes marked as 'Yes' or 'Mutually exclusive'.

 Frontal Lobe Epilepsy : Epilepsy.com
After temporal lobe epilepsy, frontal lobe epilepsy is the next most common type of epilepsy featuring partial seizures.
The features of seizures may suggest whether they begin in the frontal or temporal lobes, but the only way to be certain about where they start is to obtain an EEG recording during a seizure.
Complex partial seizures beginning in the frontal lobe tend to be shorter (usually lasting less than 1 minute) than ones that start in the temporal lobe.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Temporal lobe seizure
It arises from abnormal electrical activity in the temporal lobe on one or both sides of the brain.
Because the temporal lobe is involved in processing emotion and sensations, seizures in this area may begin with feelings of fear, feelings of joy (sometimes with religious associations and the sensation of a "presence"), recall of certain music, or smells and other unusual symptoms.
Diagnosis of temporal lobe seizure is suspected primarily on the basis of the symptoms presented and the results of tests.
