The cognitive and behavioural functions of the frontal lobes have been of great interest to neuroscientists, neurologists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Recent technical advances have made it possible to trace their neuroanatomical connections more precisely and to conduct evoked potential and neuroimaging studies in patients. This book presents a broad and authoritative synthesis of research progress in this field. Written by a distinguished group of neuroscientists,psychologists and clinicians, Frontal Lobe Function and Dysfunction provides the best current source of information on this region of the brain and its role in cognition, behaviour and clinical disorders.
Introduction and historical perspective; Neuroanatomical organization, experimental models and neuroimaging in animals; Cognitive functioning in patients with frontal lobe lesions; The role of the frontal lobes in memory; Response preparation and motor functioning; Integration of experimental models with studies of patients; Neuropsychiatric and developmental effects of frontal lobe damage; Rehabilitation of the frontal lobe damaged patient; Summary.
