The Human Frontal Lobes and Frontal Network Systems: An Evolutionary, Clinical, and Treatment Perspective

Table 1

Summary of cognitive psychological and neuroarcheological changes including brain size, reorganization, and NT changes.

Frontal lobe size as expected within hominoid evolution
Frontoparietal sensory motor integration including mirror neuron circuitry
Lunate sulcus moves more posteriorly with reduction in primary visual cortex
Petalias left occipital, right frontal (cerebral torque)
Neuropil less dense
BA 10 increased
BA 13 decreased
Temporal lobe increased in size
Amygdala nucleus increased
