Part 2 delineates the anatomy and neurochemistry of the extended frontal systems underlying neuropsychiatric illnesses such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and schizophrenia, details the role of the prefrontal cortex in consciousness and self-awareness, and offers a tantalizing theory on the lateralization of prefrontal cognitive functions. Part 3 focuses on clinical practice. Part 4 covers the role of the frontal lobes in major neuropsychiatric illnesses.Salloway, Stephen P. is the author of 'Frontal Lobes and Neuropsychiatric Illness' with ISBN 9780880488006 and ISBN 088048800X.
