Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book is based on a study week held at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Vatican City, Rome, in 1988. It deals with various aspects of the organization and function of the cerebral cortex, with specific reference to higher human mental functions such as language. The articles concentrate on the phylogenetic and ontogenetic development of the primate cortex, as well as the frontal parietal and temporal association cortex. The volume concludes with material on the basic mechanisms of memory and memory dysfunction or disease, cerebral metabolism during mental operations and modelling motor behaviour.
