The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a new theory about its fundamental function. Written by two leading brain scientists, it is an important contribution to our understanding of the evolution and functioning of the human brain.

This book presents a functional view of the frontal lobes. It argues that the frontal lobes are specialized for directing voluntary action. It considers each of the areas within the frontal lobes and suggests what contribution they make and how the areas interact.
