Un factor que puede alterar su funcionamiento es el daño cerebral adquirido, como suele suceder en sujetos que han sufrido una injuria encefálica a nivel frontal.  Objetivo: Analizar la relación entre el proceso del pensamiento moral y el funcionamiento cerebral, a través de la descripción de casos que han sufrido un daño cerebral adquirido, con la finalidad de explicitar la situación que vive un individuo luego de presentar un daño cerebral y volverse incapaz de respetar las normas sociales.  Desarrollo: Se expone la clínica de pacientes que han sufrido un daño cerebral a nivel frontal, como es el caso de Phineas Gage, NN y Elliot, en los cuales se observó que su estado posterior al evento traumático, se caracterizó por retroceder a estadios ontogénicos previos del pensamiento moral, a diferencia de pacientes como el clásico HM, quien presentó un daño cerebral en una estructura diferente a la frontal.  Conclusiones: Se discute el análisis realizado en torno al papel que desempeña el lóbulo frontal en el proceso de respeto de las normas sociales, su influencia en la interacción humana y como puede verse afectado el pensamiento moral cuando existe un daño cerebral a este nivel.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract  Introduction: Moral thinking is a mental skill that allows respecting implicit and explicit social norms. One factor that can alter its functioning is acquired brain damage, as is the case of subjects who have suffered a brain injury at the frontal lobe.  Aim: To analyze the relationship between the process of moral thinking and brain functioning, through the description of cases that have suffered acquired brain damage, with the purpose of explaining the situation that an individual lives after presenting brain damage and becoming unable to respect social norms.  Development: The clinic of patients who have suffered brain damage at the frontal level, such as Phineas Gage, NN and Elliot, is shown, in which it was observed that its state after the traumatic event was characterized by going back to previous stages of thinking moral, unlike a subject who may present brain damage in later structures.  Conclusions: We discuss the analysis performed on the role of the frontal lobe in the process of respecting social norms that allow human interaction and how it can be affected by brain damage.]]></p></abstract>
