The Executive Brain  -  Elkhonon Goldberg

Frontal Lobes and the Civilized Mind

KORTE INHOUD

'The Executive Brain' is the first popular but rigorous book to explore the most "human" region of the brain, the frontal lobes.
Writing in a lively and accessible style, the author shows how the frontal lobes enable us to engage in complex mental processes, how they control our judgement and our social and ethical behaviour, how vulnerable they are to injury, and how devastating the effects of brain damage often are, leading to chaotic, disorganized, asocial, and even criminal behaviour.
