Of all the areas of the brain the frontal lobes are almost alone in giving no response to stimulation and in seeming to have no obvious function at all: it is for this reason that they have been called the 'silent areas.' And yet the large development of these frontal lobes is one of man's most characteristic physical features
This programme Is concerned with the evidence which seems to show that a special relationship exists between these silent areas of the brain and qualities of personality.
