Medical students, nurses and MO's were all there.Standing in front of the patient who can understand what you've asked, but hardly reply.

Why?
.
Because she was emotionally disturbed.

Insular cortex is one part of the brain that was discovered to play that role. It is a hidden lobe, depth of the Sylvian fissure.
.
It receive afferent from some sensory thalamic nuclei, connected with amygdala and many limbic (anterior portion of insular cortex connect with limbic system) and association cortical areas.
.
Funtions:
1. Pain perception
2.Speech production
3.Processing of social emotions - insular cortex provide an emotional context that is suitable for a given sensory experience.

And have you guys heard about "Frontal lobe syndrome?"
If the lesion is more medial, patient will be someone who is over-friendly. But if it is more lateral, patient will prefer isolation.
