This book succinctly demonstrates how the brain’s frontal lobe is specialized for directing voluntary action. Using data from monkeys, neurological patients, and normal subjects, the author presents a flow diagram of frontal lobe operations at the systems level. Topics include the various definitions of the term "voluntary" in a neuropsychological context, how the motor cortex provides a mechanism for the execution of voluntary behavioral actions, and how the premotor areas play a role in the selection of the movements to be performed. The text also shows how the prefrontal cortex is

Paperback. Animal research has contributed greatly to our understanding of the special capability of the frontal lobes to respond to a variety of input from "lower order" sensory and posterior association cortex and this and other observations are reported in this volume. Findings that functions dependent on the frontal lobes emerge late in ontogeny and appear to decline early in normal aging are reviewed and their implications for neuropsychology are discussed. In this volume the concept of working memory is discussed in relationship to both functional neuroimaging and patient studies. Gr

The frontal lobes and their functional properties are recognized as crucial to establishing our identity as autonomous human beings. This book provides a broad introductory overview of this unique brain region. In an accessible and readable style it covers the evolutionary significance of the frontal lobes, typical and atypical development pathways, the role played in normal cognition, memory and emotion, and in damaged states, resulting in a range of neurological syndromes and psychiatric disturbances. The coverage integrates current theoretical knowledge with observations of both normal and
