Editorial : "Dr. Passingham does an admirable job of bridging basic aspects of movement to higher order behavior in the real world and laboratory.A major strength is parallel discussion of animal researchhuman lesion studies, functional neuroimaging, and physiological studiesThe illustrations are helpful and well integrated with the text.The highlight of the book is the excellent discussion of physiological investigations, and lesion studies, in nonhuman primates.I would recommend this book to anyone interested in an affordable introduction to the role of the frontal lobes in motor behaviorThis book will remain valuable because of its unique integration of disparate areas of research."--Richard Camicioli, JINS
This book succinctly demonstrates how the brain's frontal lobe is specialized for directing voluntary action. Using data from monkeys, neurological patients, and normal subjects, the author presents a flow diagram of frontal lobe operations at the systems level. Topics include the various definitions of the term "voluntary" in a neuropsychological context, how the motor cortex provides a mechanism for the execution of voluntary behavioral actions, and how the premotor areas play a role in the selection of the movements to be performed. The text also shows how the prefrontal cortex is engaged when the subject has to make new voluntary decisions, and how the basal ganglia play a critical role in response learning. The author considers how, in humans, the prefrontal cortex has been refined to allow for trial-and-error decision making, and how the premotor and prefrontal areas select between verbal responses. Psychologists, neuropsychologists, and neurophysiologists will all want to read t
Thank you Frankie. It explains the different types of projects, device sizes and resolutions and introduces the Windows Phone Emulator. Book was in super good (new) condition. Civil-rights Activists is simply dead wrong on many assertions in its section on Mary Seacole, while one wonders why a businesswoman who never identified as a black, nor campaigned on race issues at all, would be in such a book. In fact, I'm not great with car repairs in general but with this book I actually upgraded my skils from non-existent to pretty good. I love X. Over all book is well written and easy to understand. We can live our lives knowing that our brief existence is not the product of divine planning and still get value out of life. The title story, originally published as written by William Irish (a frequent Woolrich pseudonym), has grown famous thanks to the Hitchcock film starring Jimmy Stewart. It is for this reason that I'm so disappointed with this book. Gostei muito de saber dessa corrida absu
