Brenda Milner demonstrated that poor performance in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task is speciÂficallyindicative of damage to this region. The Portuguese biologist Antonio Egas Moniz won a controversial Nobel for developinga surgical procedure for this region. The most famous patient who suffered damage to this area was Phineas Gage, a railwayworker who had an iron rod blasted into his body. Recent research contradicts the widely-held scientifiÂc belief that this brainregion is much larger in humans than in other primates. For 10 points, name this lobe of the cerebral cortex involved withplanning, abstract thought, and problem-solving.
