9780198524427: The Prefrontal Cortex: Executive and Cognitive Functions

Synopsis

The role of the prefrontal cortex is one of the most topical and important areas of research in contemporary neuropsychology. This cortical region appears to be linked with executive processes affecting many diverse areas of cognitive function. Working memory, information processing, behavioural organization, and attention are just some of the processes it affects. This book brings together contributions from some of the world's leading researchers on the prefrontal cortex. In the light of recent theoretical and technical advances, they address the many questions and debates that have arisen about the role and functional organization of this area of the brain. The text should be welcomed by researchers and students in neuro- and cognitive psychology, and neuroscience. This book is intended for researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of cognitive and neuro-psychology and neuroscience, especially those with a particular interest in the prefrontal cortex.
