There are important asymmetrical differences in the frontal lobes. The left frontal lobe is involved in controlling language related movement, whereas the right frontal lobe plays a role in non-verbal abilities. Some researchers emphasize that this rule is not absolute and that with many people, both lobes are involved in nearly all behavior.<ref>[http://www.neuroskills.com/brain-injury/frontal-lobes.php Frontal lobes], The Centre for Neuro Skills</ref>}}

Education writer Regina Bailey indicates concerning the frontal lobes:
{{cquote|The frontal lobes are one of the four main lobes or regions of the cerebral cortex. They are positioned at the frontmost region of the cerebral cortex and are involved in movement, decision-making, problem solving, and planning. There are three main divisions of the frontal lobes. They are the prefrontal cortex, the premotor area and the motor area. The prefrontal cortex is responsible for personality expression and the planning of complex cognitive behaviors.
The premotor and motor areas of the frontal lobes contain nerves that control the execution of voluntary muscle movement.<ref>[http://biology.about.com/od/anatomy/p/Frontal-Lobes.htm Frontal lobes], Regina Bailey]</ref>}}
