The prefrontal cortex is particularly challenging as it has
undergone great expansion during phylogenetic development
and because it plays a crucial role in regulating most
complex behaviors. Progress in research techniques in
animals and in the development of non-invasive brain imaging
approaches in humans have allowed resurgence of interest in
the prefrontal cortex. To shed light on the rapidly
accumulating information on motor and cognitive functions of
the prefrontal cortex the Fondation IPSEN organized a
symposium. This volume contains the proceedings of this
meeting giving the most up-to-date research, with
interdisciplinarycontributions from such fields as
neuroanatomy, neuropharmacology, electrophysiology as well
as from clinical and behavior studies. The contents of this
book provides an important development in the understanding
of the prefrontal cortex.
