Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book combines experimental investigations with psychological and anatomico-pathological research to posit that the higher mental processes are located not in the post-frontal, but in the frontal lobes of the brain â" a belief that had been previously challenged by many physiologists. The author reviews the evolution of the nervous system, advancing a naturalistic thesis that every psychological complex involves a neural engram â" that all mental events involve physiological correlates. Moving on to the behavior of monkeys from whose brains the frontal cortex has been ablated and their relative lack of consciousness as the analogue of what we commonly mean by the word, the book ventures into an exploration of the nature of consciousness. Concluding with a discussion of the part which intellect, sentiment, and human sociality have played in the advance of civilization, this book pushes the boundaries of our understanding of the relationship between the human mind and brain.
