Focusing on the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, this book explores its critical role in executive functions through a detailed examination of research primarily involving non-human primates. It provides an overview of the anatomical and functional characteristics of this brain region and its historical context. Key concepts like working memory and sustained activation are discussed, highlighting their significance in attention control, decision-making, and multi-tasking. The text serves as a valuable resource for neuroscientists seeking to deepen their understanding of prefrontal functions in both primates and humans.
