About the Book

Richly illustrated with over 100 anatomical drawings, this book provides a functional view of the frontal lobes of the brain. Based on Passingham's work on monkeys and humans, the most modern techniques including PET imaging are discussed. It is the only book available to discuss the frontal cortex as a whole, and with an essential `flow diagram' of the operations of the frontal lobes, this book will be a valuable basis for future work and debate on the subject.

Table of Contents:
1: Voluntary action 2: Motor cortex (area 4) 3: Lateral premotor cortex (area 6) 4: Medial premotor cortex (area 6) 5: Premotor area 8 6: Dorsal prefrontal cortex (areas 4, 6, and 9) 7: Ventral prefrontal cortex (areas 11, 12, 13, and 14) 8: Basal ganglia 9: The organisation of the frontal lobe 10: Thought and voluntary action 11: Speech

Review :
`it is a monograph written by a teacher with great experience in organizing and presenting concepts to undergraduate students ... This is clearly a textbook which will be used to define a definitive course in the neuropsychology of frontal lobe function and the management by the brain of voluntary movement ... The value of this book will be not only to neuropsychologists, but to students of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and clinical neurology. It is clearly written and simply illustrated. I feel certain that this will become a standard 'honours' text for courses which include the study of human voluntary movement.' Robert Porter, Brain, Vol. 117, No. 5, 1994 `a good read' Natasha Graham, University of East London, Psy-PAG Quarterly, December 1995, Issue 17 `As a synthesis of so much work, the book forms an important contribution to the understanding of the role of the frontal lobes in behaviour' Laura H. Goldstein, Behaviour Research and Therapy, Vol. 34, No. 7, 1996
