message: This article was started by User:SoCal and the next contributor was User:Emperorbma, both of whom used American English. According to the Wikipedia Manual of Style an article should be uniform in spelling. Since both "neuron" (American) is used instead of "neurone" (British) and "fiber" (American) used instead of "fibre" (British) in this article, User:64.107.141.20 was correct in changing the spelling from "behaviour" (British) to "behavior" (American). semiconscious (talk · home) 23:59, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

message: We could say that the neutrality of this article is indeed in question. In the beginning of the article, it states that frontal lobes are the regions occupying the front of hemispheres, hemisphere implying to halves. the article seems to only describe the function of the left frontal obe, the one that controls logic, organization, impulse control and other linear tasks as such, but he forgets to include the the right frontal lobe, which is less used in modern society. The right frontal lobe is used for artistic expression, creativity in all forms, and holistic thinking. If there is an expert out there to add that in, the article would be more accurate. Perhaps I could be wrong, since the title of the article is Frontal Lobe. If that is the case, then two articles should be made for the left and right frontal lobes. It isn't a neccesity, but this is wikipedia, an encyclopedia set up for the cause of knowledge. The human brain is the most crucial tool for the purpose of wikipedia, knowledge, that is, so shouldn't we educate more people about it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.149.167.113 (talk • contribs) 
:I don't think that the laterality in the frontal lobes are understood that well.  There isn't much credible evidence for the left frontal lobe controling logical thinking while the right frontal lobe is used in creativity.  For almost any scientific paper implying that a function is lateralized to one side of the frontal lobe, you could find another that shows it on the other side.  But if you could find credible articles that discuss laterality, please add it to this article.  WU03 22:07, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I was also looking for info on this. I've heard of treatment (possibly with repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, or rTMS) to subdue brain activity. Subdue the right part and you become a maths whiz. Subdue the left and your imagination runs wild. Something like that. I've also heard that higher levels of activity on one side (the right?) are associated with negative feelings such as anxiety, while lower levels are associated with calmness - I think I heard that in a talk by Daniel Kahneman, where he said that the person with the lowest level of activity he'd ever seen in that region was a Tibetan Buddhist monk. My impression is that there are some quite strong research findings, though still in early days. Sorry I haven't given any links, no time to research just now... --Singkong2005 · talk 04:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Also the cytoarchitectonic equivalents (as in the Brodmann areas) would be very helpful to both exploring the brain regions through Wikipedia and to synthesize the contributions of both the right and left hemispheres...  Stevenmitchell (talk) 19:40, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The following sentence in the intro needs to be translated into English:
"It is separated from the parietal lobe by the post-central gyrus primary motor cortex, which controls voluntary movements of specific body parts associated with the precentral gyrus posteriorly , inferiorly by lateral sulcus[slyvian] which separates it from the temporal lobe ,superiorly by the superior margin of the hemisphere and anteriorly by the frontal pole."
Is there someone who speaks Latin who can translate?--109.255.84.223 (talk) 13:30, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I rewrote that paragraph.  There is no way of avoiding complexity when describing anatomy but hopefully I have made it a little more readable. Looie496 (talk) 18:20, 19 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The rotating diagram of the brain is a great idea, but our perceptual system is designed to pay attention to movement, so the rotation is a constant source of distraction when reading the article text. For this reason, the user should be able to stop the rotation. This observation applies to animation inserts in all articles, including the articles on the four cerebral lobes: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal.
