A presenile degenerative disease of the brain affecting the frontal lobe is called
Pick's disease
The correct answer is Pick's disease.
Pick's disease is a presenile (usually 40–60 years) frontotemporal dementia with atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes and tau-containing Pick bodies; it presents with personality change, disinhibition and language problems before memory loss.
The Oedipus complex is a Freudian psychosexual concept, orgasm is the climax of the sexual response, and neologism (coining new words) is a speech/thought disorder seen in schizophrenia.
Short trick: Pick's = Personality change + frontal lobe (Pick bodies).
