Recenzje

For anyone who seeks to understand the function of the prefrontal cortex, the writings of Professor Passingham are the place to start. For decades, his views derived from a massive number of studies attempting to unravel the mystery of this portion of the brain have provided a guiding light. His latest thoughts on the prefrontal cortex presented in this book are invaluable.
