Metabolic measurements of the working frontal cortex in man

摘要: What does the cortex of human frontal lobe do? The best answer, at moment, is that it participates in any form structured brain work a subject can do when awake. Perception, voluntary action, thinking, remembering, calculating, reading, discriminating and speaking are all conscious activities characterized by an activation prefrontal areas conjunction with either motor or more posteriorly located cortical areas. This one most important discoveries has come from metabolic studies on brain.
