50. Allah's Scientific Miracles In The Quran: The Region Responsible For Our Movements

The area of the cerebrum responsible for planning, motivation, and initiating good and sinful behaviour, such as lying and truth-telling, is located in the frontal part of the skull. This region, known as the prefrontal area, was pointed out in the Qur'an 1,400 years ago, and only discovered by scientists in the last 60 years. Those who fail to act responsibly can be grabbed by the 'lying, sinful forelock', indicating the importance of being responsible. Note 67. Rod R. Seeley, Trent D.
