Frontal lobe is the anterior-most of five lobes of the cerebral hemisphere. It is bounded by the central sulcus on its posterior border and by the longitudinal cerebral fissure on its medial border.
Many species don't have lobes but they do have frontal cortex. Lobe isn't a really well defined term though
