This article talked about a rare occasion where a woman is alive without a cerebellum in her brain. The cerebellum's main job is to control voluntary movements and balance and also is involved in our ability to learn specific motor actions and speak. If the cerebellum is not functioning properly, it can lead to severe mental impairment and movement disorders. However, the woman he was missing her cerebellum only summered mild to moderate motor deficiency. This is important because it highlights the remarkable plasticity of the brain. The brain is a very complex organ, and it is interesting to understand how the brain circuity works and compensates for missing arts.

The Frontal Lobe is the front part of the brain that is involved in planning, organizing, problem solving, and selective attention. The Frontal lobe is considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. 

You can technically live without a front lobe, but you would have paralysis of motor control and cognitive abilities. You would not be able to have any reasoning skills and form simple thoughts. You also would not be able to move. Frontal lobe damage can lead to lack of initiation and movement, memory loss, sequencing difficulties, behavior changes, distractibility, and reduced attention and concentration. No other parts of the brain could take over.
