The Quran describes the forelock (nāsiyah) as “a lying, sinful forelock” (Quran 96:15–16).
1\. The Quran — Surah Al-‘Alaq (96:15–16)
“No! If he does not desist, We will surely drag him by the forelock — a lying, sinful forelock.”
2/. Brain World Magazine — The Neuroscience of Lying
Discusses fMRI research on deception and brain activity, including the prefrontal cortex, located behind the forehead.
3\. Scientific American — The Art of Lying
Explains how brain-imaging studies have linked deception-related decision-making to activity in the prefrontal cortex.
Important distinction: The Quran explicitly describes the forelock as lying and sinful. Neuroscience associates the prefrontal cortex with aspects of deception and decision-making. However, these studies do not establish that the Quranic word nāsiyah specifically refers to the prefrontal cortex.

5/Another proof
The proposed tests mostly look at different activation patterns of the prefrontal cortex in response to true and false statements
All this deciding and self-control implies that lying is managed by the prefrontal cortex —
Several follow-up studies have confirmed the role of the prefrontal cortex in lying.”
Greene’s finding that elevated blood perfusion in parts of the prefrontal cortex might indicate that a person is deciding whether to lie and not necessarily that the person is lying.”
