Price:
$120.00 (05)Description
This volume provides a comprehensive 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 is intended to be a standard reference work on the frontal lobes for researchers, clinicians, and students in the field of neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and health care.Reviews
"The aim of this textbook, as stated by the editors in the preface, is to provide a standard reference on the frontal lobes that will be useable for at least a decade. They have certainly achieved this goal by assembling an excellent group of authors who constitute the leaders in the field of frontal lobe function." --Journal of Neurosurgery
"...an invaluable work...the new standard reference on the frontal lobes." --American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry
"It cannot be denied that this is an excellent book. It contains all of the topics that one might reasonably ask for, systematically reviewed in the correct sequence. Most neuroscientists and clinicians would gain greatly from this book, especially as a reference source. The neuroscience of frontal and executive function has badly needed a text with the breadth and depth to do justice to the many recent developments in this field, and this book fulfills that role very well." -Oliver Turnbull, Ph.D.
