> what is hypo-frontality???

It describes a reduced function of the frontal lobes and prefrontal cortex. This can affect adversely executive function. Although hypofrontality can be measured biologically, there is only speculation as to its significance. The two main tests for hypofrontality are fMRI scans and PET scans. These tests demonstrate:

1. Reduction in glucose utilization.
2. Reduction in blood flow.

Hypofrontality is seen in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, ADHD/ADD, and perhaps others psychiatric illnesses.

* Executive function:

"Executive functions (also known as cognitive control and supervisory attentional system) is an umbrella term for the management (regulation, control) of cognitive processes, including working memory, reasoning, flexibility, and problem solving as well as planning and execution.[1][2][3] The prefrontal areas of the frontal lobe are necessary but not solely sufficient for executive functions."
