DESCRIPTION:
Leading experts from multiple disciplines address the anatomy and chemistry of the frontal cortex, neuropsychological assessments of capabilities unique to the frontal lobes, the nature of (and possible treatment avenues for) frontotemporal dementia and related conditions, and implications for understanding and treating neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, mania, and depression. This authoritative work, now thoroughly revised, has given thousands of clinicians, students, and researchers a state-of-the-art understanding of the human frontal lobes--the large brain region that plays a critical role in behavior, cognition, health, and disease. *Incorporates significant new information on frontotemporal dementia and other neurological disorders. *Increased attention to brain pr
As much detail as anyone could ask for I first ran across this book a few years ago when doing research for my book, "The PK Zone." I needed something that covered the different functions of the left and right brain, and how they interact. "The Human Frontal Lobes" proved to be a virtual goldmine! This book is an incredible compilation of chapters on a field where not only is there intensive research, but recent findings have greatly changed our understanding of how the brain works. The pages contain a
This book can serve as a core text for advanced students in cognitive and clinical neuroscience who need to acquire foundational principles in frontal lobe investigation and patient management. Prior editions have been on the required reading lists for trainees and practitioners in behavioral neurology, neuropsychiatry, neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience.

This book brings their passion for the subject to a new level of sophisticated scholarship."--Brad Dickerson
