Welcome back to the podcast! In this exciting episode, Dr. Michael and May Bagnell dive deep into the brain’s most powerful region: the frontal lobe—your brain's very own CEO! From its pivotal role in movement and memory to its influence on social skills and personality, the frontal lobe governs some of the most important aspects of our daily lives. But what makes this part of the brain so special?

Join us as we explore the anatomy and function of the frontal lobe, uncovering fascinating facts like how the frontal eye fields are crucial for eye movement and why they reveal so much about brain health. Ever wondered if your brain’s CEO is working well? Dr. Michael shares some green flags (healthy signs) and red flags (warning signs) to look out for in your everyday activities, from reaction times to emotional control.

Plus, we tackle some fun yet insightful questions: How does your gait and finger tapping reflect your brain’s health? And could disorganization or emotional outbursts be linked to frontal lobe issues?
