Review

If you still wonder what the prefrontal cortex does, and how to perform a meaningful exam of its functions, you should read this book. You will find here the right answers to many questions regarding the function of the prefrontal cortex . . . This book is certainly very good not only as a reference book, but also as a textbook for neuroscientists who are already engaged in the study of the prefrontal cortex, as well as for beginners who want to learn more about this fascinating cortical region. (Clinical Neurophysiology, 115)

. . . highly recommended. It will be essential reading and a standard reference for researchers, teachers and students of the frontal lobes. (Brain, 126)

It cannot be denied that this is an excellent book. It contains all of the topics that one might reasonably ask for, systematically reviewed in the correct sequence . . . Most neuroscientists and clinicians would gain greatly from this book . . . The neuroscience of frontal lobe function and executive function has badly needed a text with the breadth and depth to do justice to the many recent developments in this field, and this book fulfills that role very well. (Neurology)

It will be of utmost interest for neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists, and all who are interested and working in this exciting field of the neurosciences. From this extraordinary book the reviewer has learned a lot . . . (European Journal of Neurology)

This is an important book for any neurology, neuroscience, or neurosurgery library. (Doody's Journal)

. . . of utmost interest for neuroscientists, clinicians, psychologists and all who are interested and working in this exciting field of neurosciences. From this extraordinary book the reviewer has learned a lot about the anatomy, functions and dysfunctions of the frontal lobes and fronto-subcortical systems. (European Journal of Neurology, Vol 10, Issue 1)
