Asymmetrical involvement of frontal lobes in social reasoning.
The frontal lobes are widely implicated in logical reasoning. Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that frontal lobe involvement in reasoning is asymmetric (L>R) and increases with the presence of familiar, meaningful content in the reasoning situation. However, neuroimaging data can only provide sufficiency criteria. To determine the necessity of prefrontal involvement in logical reasoning, we ...
متن کاملFrontal Lobes and Memory
Casual observations of patients with focal frontal lobe lesions often reveal little if any cognitive impairment (Fuster, 1989; Hebb, 1945). At the same time, such patients display an assortment of cognitive deficits upon neuropsychological assessment (Janowsky et al., 1989c; Luria, 1980; Stuss & Benson, 1984). With respect to memory, focal frontal injury does not produce a severe amnesic disord...
متن کاملRegions of the Frontal Lobes
1. Primary Motor Cortex (M1, Brodmann area 4): The primary motor cortex is located on the precentral gyrus just rostral to the central sulcus. It is the source of cortical neurons that will project to the brainstem and spinal cord to activate neurons involved in the control of voluntary movements. It receives input from the neighboring primary somatosensory area (S1, on the postcentral gyrus) a...
متن کاملSlowing of reaction time in Parkinson's disease: the involvement of the frontal lobes.
This study investigated the possibility that the previously mixed findings relating to cognitive deficits in Parkinson's disease might be attributable to inhomogeneity within the patients sampled, with attentional deficits occurring only for those Parkinson's patients who also have additional frontal lobe impairment. Twenty-five patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease were classified as sh...
متن کاملFrontal lobes, basal ganglia, temporal lobes--three sites for schizophrenia?
This special issue of the Schizophrenia Bulletin focuses on three brain areas hypothesized to play a role in the etiology of schizophrenia--the frontal lobes, the basal ganglia, and the temporal lobes. Contributors to the issue review evidence from brain-imaging, post-mortem, and psychopharmacological studies that support the involvement of each of these important brain areas in schizophrenia. ...
