Functional magnetic resonance imaging evidence for a hierarchical organization of the prefrontal cortex
D Badre, M D'Esposito - Journal of cognitive neuroscience, 2007 - direct.mit.edu
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is central to flexible and organized action. Recent theoretical
and empirical results suggest that the rostro-caudal axis of the frontal lobes may reflect a …
