A Discussion of the Role of Frontoparietal Activity in Cognition

A Discussion of the Role of Frontoparietal Activity in Cognition

A consistently observed pattern in the functional brain imaging literature is that of joint frontal and parietal activation.  Because this pattern of activation has been observed under many different experimental conditions and when different cognitive domains have been tested, it is likely that fro...
