Description
The frontal lobes and their functional properties are recognised 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 disturbed behaviour across the lifespan.
The result is an easy to read review of this fascinating and involved field suitable for graduate students in neuropsychology and psychology, clinicians from the fields of neurology, neurosurgery or psychiatry, and researchers engaged in neuroscientific investigations.
