Question

Zeus was injured in a mining accident and suffered severe brain damage. In time, his brain healed and he was back to working in the mines. The only change was in his personality. From being a highly aggressive and temperamental individual, he became mild-mannered and calm, almost to the extent of being placid. In this scenario, the region of the cerebral cortex that was most likely damaged in the accident was the _____ lobe. Select one:
a. Frontal
b. Occipital
c. Temporal
d. Parietal

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: A.frontal

Frontal lobe of our brain is responsible in controlling our impulse and behaviour. Damage in frontal lobe could make us unable to fulfill those functions properly. This might lead to us experiencing a 180 degree change in personality (from meek to aggressive and vice versa)
