Abstract
Abstract This chapter begins by summarizing the anatomy of the prefrontal cortex. It then reviews the functional role of the prefrontal cortex, including a consideration of whether the prefrontal area is involved in memory per se, or other cognitive processes related to memory, and whether the expansive prefrontal area has specialized subdivisions between or within the hemispheres. It considers parcellation of functions and cooperation between the prefrontal cortex and other higher-order cortical areas. Finally, some of the main points made in earlier chapters are reviewed, with the aim of considering how the entire brain participates in ordinary learning and memory processing.
