Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, this book explores its crucial role in higher cognitive functions and executive processes. It summarizes findings from non-human primate studies, detailing anatomical and functional characteristics, as well as historical perspectives on prefrontal functions. Key concepts include working memory, sustained neural activity, and their contributions to attention control, decision-making, and multi-tasking. The insights provided are valuable for neuroscientists seeking to advance their understanding of prefrontal mechanisms in both primates and humans.
