The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex: Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight (Oxford Psychology Series)

The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex is a groundbreaking book that uncovers the fascinating story of how our brains evolved to overcome food shortages in our ancestors.

By understanding the unique features of the prefrontal cortex, this book reveals why other parts of the brain cannot perform its function and how it generates goals from current behavioral contexts.

With a focus on the evolutionary history of the prefrontal cortex, the authors provide compelling evidence from lesion, imaging, and cell-recording experiments to support their theory.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of the human brain and how it has evolved over time to help us navigate our complex world.
