Frontal lobe syndrome

A pattern of emotional, behavioral, and personality changes that occur following an injury to the prefrontal lobes. The three principal syndromes are frontal convexity syndrome, medial frontal syndrome, and orbitofrontal syndrome. Impairment of frontal lobe functioning is also found in a range of psychiatric conditions, including schizophrenia, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and antisocial personality disorder.
