A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book presents an argument rather than a review: that the frontal lobes as a whole are specialized for voluntary action. For each area within the frontal lobes, a specific role in the execution of voluntary action is proposed. Topics covered include the control of movement in the motor cortex and premotor areas, decision-making in the pre-frontal cortex, response learning in the basal ganglia, and the mental trial and error that forms the basis of future responses. This analysis is based on the author's own work using the most up-to-date imaging techniques. Controversial and thought-provoking, it will serve as the basis for future work and debate on the subject.

Revue de presse :

It is clearly written and simply illustrated. Its coverage of the relevant anatomical physiological and behavioural observations which relate to frontal lobe function is broad but well focused. I feel certain that this will become a standard `honours' text for courses which include the study of human voluntary movement. (Brain)
