The prefrontal cortex is critical to many cognitive abilities that are considered particularly
human, and forms a large part of a neural system crucial for normal socio-emotional and …

In this article, we consider whether studies in rats can provide useful information regarding
the debate about the functions of the primate prefrontal cortex. At a superficial level …

In this brief review, we address the cognitive functions of a subregion of the rat frontal cortex,
the prelimbic cortex. Growing evidence suggests that the prelimbic cortex is involved in …

Papers in this volume review the latest neuroscientific knowledge on the normal
neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, development, and aging of the human prefrontal cortex …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC), seat of the highest-order cognitive functions, constitutes a
conglomerate of highly specialized brain areas and has been implicated to have a role in …

The prefrontal cortex is one of the latest regions of the neocortex to develop, in both
phylogeny and ontogeny. In the primate, the prefrontal cortex is anatomically divided into …

In phylogeny as in ontogeny, the association cortex of the frontal lobe, also known as the
prefrontal cortex, is a late-developing region of the neocortex. It is also one of the cortical …

This chapter outlines the issues associated with the development of prefrontal cortex in
children and adolescents, and describes the developmental profile of executive processes …
