A successor to the acclaimed 'Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex', 'Understanding the Prefrontal Cortex' presents a study of the anatomical connections in this brain region, showing how each area and subarea of the brain has a unique pattern of connections, and exploring the transformation that this area performs - from its inputs to it outputs.
For anyone who seeks to understand the function of the prefrontal cortex, the writings of Professor Passingham are the place to start. For decades, his views derived from a massive number of studies attempting to unravel the mystery of this portion of the brain have provided a guiding light. His latest thoughts on the prefrontal cortex presented in this book are invaluable.
