Subdivisions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) evolved at different times. Agranular parts of the
PFC emerged in early mammals, and rodents, primates, and other modern mammals share …

Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a
dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network,'number …

This highly influential work--now in a revised and expanded third edition incorporating major
advances in the field--gives clinicians, educators, and students a new understanding of what …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

The frontal lobes in the brain are a component of the cerebral system that supports goal-
directed behaviour. However, their functional organization remains controversial. Recent …

Learning the value of options in an uncertain environment is central to optimal decision
making. The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has been implicated in using reinforcement …

Behavioral flexibility is the hallmark of goal-directed behavior. Whereas a great deal is
known about the neural substrates of behavioral adjustment when it is explicitly cued by …

Controlling behavior to flexibly achieve desired goals depends on the ability to monitor one's
own performance. It is unknown how performance monitoring can be both flexible, to support …

Higher-level cognition depends on the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC), but its functional
organization has remained elusive. An influential proposal is that the LPFC is organized …

The largest part of the primate prefrontal cortex has no homolog in other mammals.
Accordingly, it probably confers some advantage that other mammals either lack or attain …
