Principles of Frontal Lobe Function

Donald T. Stuss and Robert T. Knight

Abstract

This book provides a review of historical and current research on the function of the frontal lobes and frontal systems of the brain. The content spans frontal lobe functions from birth to old age, from biochemistry and anatomy to rehabilitation, and from normal to disrupted function. The book covers a variety of disciplines including neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and health care.

Keywords: historical research, frontal lobes, frontal systems, brain, frontal lobe functions, biochemistry, anatomy, rehabilitation, disruption function
