Experiment shows how the frontal lobe aids tool-use tasks by enhancing cognitive functions and managing information flow.

The research aims to explore the role of the frontal lobe in tool-use tasks and its contribution to cognitive processes.
Investigated the involvement of the left inferior-frontal-gyrus during tool use
Analyzed the relationship between cognitive functions and tool-related semantic knowledge
Examined the cross-domain cognitive network supporting sequential planning processes.
Frontal lobe activation is linked to both novel tool use and broader cognitive functions
The left inferior-frontal-gyrus contributes to information flow management
Cognitive functions are crucial for compensating reduced semantic knowledge during novel tool use.

Seifert et al. (2025) studied this question.
