“If the left prefrontal lobe is damaged, the patient may withdraw from the
social world and show a marked reluctance to do anything at all. This is
euphemistically called pseudodepression—“pseudo” because none of the
standard criteria for identifying depression, such as feelings of bleakness and
chronic negative thought patterns, are revealed by psychological or neurological
probing. Conversely, if the right prefrontal lobe is damaged, a patient will seem
euphoric even though, once again he really won’t be. Cases of prefrontal damage
are especially distressing to relatives. Such a patient seems to lose all interest in
his own future and he shows no moral compunctions of any kind. He may laugh
at a funeral or urinate in public. The great paradox is that he seems normal in
most respects: his language, his memory, and even his IQ are unaffected. Yet he
has lost many of the most quintessential attributes that define human nature:
ambition, empathy, foresight, a complex personality, a sense of morality, and a
sense of dignity as a human being.

For these reasons the prefrontal cortex has long
been regarded as the “seat of humanity.” As for the question of how such a
relatively small patch of the brain manages to orchestrate such a sophisticated
and elusive suite of functions, we are still very much at a loss.”

“I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.”
