Do people use the forehead to lie?

Do people use the forehead to lie?

96:15 Nay, if he does not desists, We will surely drag him by the forelock, 96:16 A lying and sinful forelock.

(One interpretation is that “forelock” in Verse 96:16 implies the person with the forelock, who was both a liar and sinful)(Another interpretation is that the forehead (frontal lobe) is used to lie. According to the article “what is compulsive lying disorder” in “compulsivelyingdisorder(dot)com”, “currently, there are several theories as to what causes an individual to develop compulsive lying disorder. There has been research completed that indicates it is the result of neurological imbalance, particularly in the frontal lobe. A study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry reported that pathological liars have an increase in the amount of white matter in the brain predisposing them to the condition”)(And the article “Localization of increased prefrontal white matter in pathological liars” in “ncbi(dot)nlm(dot)nih(dot)gov” says “Liars showed a relatively widespread increase in white matter (23-36%) in orbitofrontal, middle and inferior, but not superior, frontal gyri compared with antisocial and normal controls. This white matter increase may predispose some individuals to pathological lying”)(On the other hand, some functions of the frontal lobe are related to being sinful; quoting the article “brain functions” in “northeastern(dot)edu”: “The frontal lobe controls intellectual activities, such as the ability to organize, as well as personality, behavior, and emotional control”)(Allah knows best)
