what part of the brain controls self image?
prefrontal cortex
pseudobulbar affect (pba) is a condition that is characterized by episodes of uncontrollable laughter or crying. it mostly occurs in people suffering from certain neurological injuries which affect the way in which their brain controls emotions. scientists believe pba may be a result of damage to the prefrontal cortex, which is the area of the brain that controls emotions. because pba often involves crying, the condition may be mistaken for depression. however, pba is a neurological condition, while depression is psychological. people suffering from pba do not experience some of the typical depression symptoms such as sleep disturbances or loss of appetite.

the neurons in the dorsal aspect of the facial motor nucleus receive inputs from both sides of the cortex, while those in the ventral aspect mainly receive contralateral inputs (i.e. from the opposite side of the cortex). the result is that both sides of the brain control the muscles of the upper face, while the right side of the brain controls the lower left side of the face, and the left side of the brain controls the lower right side of the face.
