Product Description:
This is the completely revised and updated fourth edition of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex. This area of the brain is the main executive center of cognitive function, and one of the seats of primate and human intelligence. This book is a unique exercise in analysis and synthesis of our knowledge on the subject, from a vast empirical foundation built by five generations of clinicians and neuroscientists. Previous editions of this text have guided the work of innumerable researchers worldwide; their findings are now in the substance of this new edition.
* Written by an award-winning author who discovered memory cells-the physiological substrate of working memory
* Provides an in-depth examination of the contributions of every relevant methodology, from comparative anatomy to modern imaging
* Well-referenced with more than 2000 references
Summary: The Executive of the Brain
Rating: 5
This is a comprehensive update of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the brains vanguard of evolution and the control center for the human agenda. It is what allows us to invent the future and to make it present. Here is the outcome of a unique exercise in analysis and synthesis, from a vast empirical foundation built by five generations of clinicians and neuroscientists. It examines in depth the contributions of every relevant methodology (over 2000 references), from comparative anatomy to modern imaging. From this thorough analysis emerges a dynamic and integrative view of the prefrontal cortex. At the apex of the perception-action cycle, the prefrontal cortex steers the temporal gestalts of behavior, language, and reasoning toward their goal. The author is the discoverer of the memory cells, the physiological substrate of working memory; in recent years awarded the International Fissen Prize (2000), the Goldman-Rakic Prize from NARSAD, and the Miller Prize from the Cognitive Neuroscience Society (2006).
