Frontal 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 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. ...
متن کاملTheory of mind and the frontal lobes.
BACKGROUND Theory of mind (ToM) is the ability to attribute mental states to other individuals. Its cerebral organization is not enough established, even though the literature suggests the relevant role of the frontal lobes. OBJECTIVE To evaluate frontal lobe patients and controls in ToM tests. METHOD We studied 20 patients with lesions limited to the frontal lobes (as shown by CT or MRI), ...
متن کاملHuman frontal lobes are not relatively large.
One of the most pervasive assumptions about human brain evolution is that it involved relative enlargement of the frontal lobes. We show that this assumption is without foundation. Analysis of five independent data sets using correctly scaled measures and phylogenetic methods reveals that the size of human frontal lobes, and of specific frontal regions, is as expected relative to the size of ot...
