In this paper, Prof. Joaquin Fuster details the evidence he has from a wide range of disciplines in support of his proposed function for the prefrontal cortex. Since my review of the paper is itself quite lengthy, I have split it up into three parts, which will be posted here over the next three days. These three parts are as follows:
(1) The PFC: anatomy and the network memory theory
(2) The PFC: a temporal organiser
(3) Areal specificity in the PFC and mechanisms involved in temporal integration
