Interest in genetic malformations of the frontal lobe has grown from the recognition that certain brain malformations have a predilection for the frontal lobes or are more severe in the anterior brain. These malformations can be deleterious, as the frontal lobes in humans are particularly large in comparison with those of other species and play an important role in cognitive developmental functions.
