This volume, Prefrontal Cortex: from Synaptic Plasticity to
Cognition, is an interdisciplinary approach to characterize the
function of the anterior portion of the frontal lobe in rodents and
human and non-human primates. The specific topics discussed in the
chapters of this volume are purposefully diverse: they range from
membrane properties of prefrontal neurons to cognitive psychology.
Nevertheless, this volume must not be regarded as a mere collection
of writings with the different sub-themes. As you will see,
chapters often vigorously encompass domains of the prefrontal field
in effort to provide a big picture. That is actually what we
attempted to do in this volume. On one hand, we have accumulated
knowledge on the properties of neurons and synapses in the
prefrontal cortex as well as the actions of critical
neuromodulators such as dopamine. On the other hand, behavioral and
cognitive neurosciences have begun to reveal the fascinating role
of the prefrontal cortex in such mental processes as working
memory, attention switching and rule following, and long-term
memory. Needless to say, our ultimate goal as neurobiologists is to
know what relationship there is between these cellular and
cognitive processes. This volume is meant to serve as a
comprehensive introduction towards that goal. Readers will be
informed, for example, of how plasticity of prefrontal neurons is
regulated, how it is involved in certain cognitive processes in
rodents, and how the rodent models can apply to the primates.
