The prefrontal cortex is known to play important roles for
performing a variety of higher cognitive functions. Among regions
of the prefrontal cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex plays
the most important roles for these functions. This book focuses on
functions of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, summarizes
research results obtained mainly by non-human primate studies, and
describes neural mechanisms of executive functions that the
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex participates. First, to understand
the feature of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and how its
function has been understood, anatomical and functional features of
the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and historical overview of
prefrontal functions are described. To understand functions of the
prefrontal cortex and neural mechanisms of executive functions,
working memory is an important concept and sustained activation
during the memory period of working memory tasks is known as a
neural mechanism of working memory. Therefore, this book describes
features of sustained memory-related activity based on
neurophysiological results obtained in the prefrontal cortex and
how memory-related activity contributes to executive functions
including control of attention, inhibitory control, task
management, and planning. And further, this book describes how the
dorsolateral prefrontal cortex contributes to neural mechanisms for
sensory and motor processing, memory control in multi-task
performance, decision-making, metacognition, and top-down control.
Thus, this book provides important information regarding neural
mechanisms of dorsolateral prefrontal functions to neuroscientists
and helps to plan further investigation to understand prefrontal
functions in primates and human subjects.
