Prefrontal Area of the Brain
The human brain is the most complex organ of the body and despite of advancements of medical sciences, very little is known about it.
Recent mappings of brain have established that different areas of the brain are used for different and specific purposes.

Speech, vision, smell, taste, hearing, motor functions, memory banks are all controlled by separate well-defined areas of the brain.

According to the American Medical Association, Prefrontal area of the brain provides ability to plan, reason, concentrate, and adjust behavior.

A book entitled Essentials of Anatomy & Physiology Bby Rod R. Seeley, Trent D. Stephens, Philip Tate, Rodney Seeley describes the functions of the Prefrontal area, "The motivation and the foresight to plan and initiate movements occur in the anterior portion of the frontal lobes, the prefrontal area. This is a region of association cortex..." Page 211 The book continues: "In relation to its involvement in motivation, the prefrontal area is also thought to be the functional center for aggression...."
This area of the brain is resides in the front of the brain is and is responsible for initiating and planning to speak the truth or tell lies or commit sins.

The Holy Qur-an says:

Nay! If he (Abu Jahl) ceases not, We will catch him by the forelock (front of the head), a lying, sinful forelock!
Surah
(Chapter) Al Alaq (The Clot) Qur-an 96:15-16
 
This verse was revealed about one of the main enemies of Islam and Muslims when he did not allow the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad S to pray near Ka'bah.

It is only within the past 60 years that scientists were able to map different areas of the brain to associate their activities. [Al-E'jaz al-Elmy fee al-Naseyah (The Scientific Miracles in the Front of the Head), Moore and others, Page 41]

This understanding of the brain was completely non-existent in the world and times of the Messenger of Allah, Muhammad S and comes directly from Allah (God) - The Sole Creator of the Universe.
