What Part Of The Brain Influences The Relating Of Different Objects And Feelings?
Question: What area / part of the brain is associated with the following forms of thought:
-Relating ideas / objects / anything to something else (IE seeing a building and thinking it looks tall and straight, and then thinking how it was designed that way and why, and how incredible it is)... just making connections. Same process applies to seeing patterns when solving a complex problem.
-Sex drive (not emotional and not testosterone driven, but desire for partner's pure physical power). NOT a self-drive to have sex... but rather a desire to see the girl in a position of power / control.
-The thought / good feeling you get when you look around at everything moving around on a city street and literally "sense" everything moving at once (so you are aware of the cars and the people) and then your gaze looks onto one of the moving objects (say a car) and you feel this rush / exhilaration that feels really good.
I know that these are from the frontal lobe - and I know that they all involve dopamine - but specifically what area of the frontal lobe? Please describe exact location if possible or what artery supplies that area and what nerves if possible as well.
Thanks!

Brief Answer:
These are all complex cerebral functions.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.
The cerebral processes that you describe are all complex and result from relationship of different lobes of brain.
Processing of thoughts after different stimuli or sensations are received and localized on parietal lobes of brain.
Sex drive results from brain circuits of mesial temporal lobes ( amygdala), paralymbic and basal frontal cortex.
All thoughts you describe relating to gaze direction, movement feeling, psychological feelings, after are perceived from different lobes ( occipital, parietal), travel by integrated circuits and end up in frontal lobes. ( frontal association area).
Sexual drive includes circuits from lymbic system, temporal lobe and basal prefrontal cortex.
Frontal lobes are mainly supplied by anterior cerebral artery.
Parietal and temporal lobes are supplied mainly from middle cerebral artery.
These circuits function with dopamine and other neurotransmitters ( glutamate, GABA, serotonin).
Higher cortical functions of human brain result from integrated information of different areas and lobes of brain, not only from one area.
Hope this answers your question. If you have further questions feel free to ask
