| frontal zone contraction theory | Model proposed to account for the movement of giant amoebae in which cytoplasmic contraction at the front of the leading pseudopod (fountain zone) pulls viscoelastic cytoplasm forward in the centre of the cell and forms a tube of more rigid cytoplasm immediately below the plasma membrane behind the active region. The peripheral contracted cytoplasm relaxes into a weaker gel at the rear and is pulled forward in its turn. Contrasts with the ectoplasmic tube contraction model. (18 Nov 1997) |

| frontal lobe |
The frontal lobe specializes in conscious, voluntary behavior. The frontal lobe of the brain has three general divisions, the prefrontal cortex, the premotor cortex and the motor cortex. The prefrontal cortex of the frontal lobe holds the mostly recently evolved section of the human brain. here we find the ability to plan for the future, to solve complex problems, and to express and control emotional behavior. The premotor cortex coordinates complex, skilled movement. ...
