Editorial Reviews
Review
"T]he editors of the present volume [have] assembled a stellar cast and prepared an effective, concise volume based on a meeting of the Royal Society in 1996. In just 15 chapters, many current ideas about the functions of prefrontal cortex appear, including planning action, devising strategies, making decisions, selecting goals, using feedback, monitoring and ordering events, suppressing routine behavior, and subserving working memory, to recount a partial list that excludes language. . . . This volume's most noteworthy contributions focus on memory . . . , strategies and response selection . . . , the role of dopamine in development . . . , and the potential contribution of prefrontal dysfunction to schizophrenia . . ."--Trends in Cognitive Sciences
Product Description
The prefrontal cortex, one of the most important areas of research in contemporary neuropsychology, appears to be linked with executive processes affecting many diverse areas of cognition, including working memory, information processing, behavioral organization, and attention. This state-of-the-art account of our knowledge of the prefrontal cortex brings together contributions from some of the world's leading researchers on the subject. The authors discuss the many recent theoretical and technical advances in the field--from advances in our understanding of the neural architecture of the prefrontal cortex to the use of functional neuroimaging and from new ideas about the relationships between neuronal activity and behavior to comparisons between human and non-human primate cognition. One of the first books to be written on the subject, The Prefrontal Cortex will be important reading for all researchers and students in neuro- and cognitive psychology, and neuroscience.
