The frontal lobe is part of the brain's cerebral cortex. Individually, the paired lobes are known as the left and right frontal cortex.As the name implies, the frontal lobe is located near the front of the head, under the frontal skull bones and near the forehead. It was the last region of the brain to evolve, making it a relatively new addition to the structure.All mammals have a frontal lobe, though the size and complexity vary between species. Most research suggests that primates have larger frontal lobes than many other mammals.
