The Frontal Cortex

Organization, Networks, and Function

About the Book

An in-depth investigation of the structure, neuronal mechanisms, and computations of the frontal lobe that enable higher-level thought.

Experts from neurobiology, neuroanatomy, evolutionary biology, cognitive neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and clinical science examine how the neuronal structure of the frontal lobes enables unique aspects of higher-level thought. Implications for understanding disrupted function in neurological and psychiatric disorders, as well as societal issues, such as volitional control of behavior and educational practice, are also considered.
