This is the fourth edition of The Prefrontal Cortex (Fourth Edition), the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the principal „executive“ structure of the brain. Because of its role in such cognitive functions as working memory, planning, and decision-making, the prefrontal cortex is critically involved in the organization of behavior, language, and reasoning. Prefrontal dysfunction lies at the foundation of several psychotic and neurodegenerative disorders, including schizophrenia and dementia.
