In 'The Executive Brain', Elkhonon Goldberg offers a brilliant and rigorous exposition of the complex functions of the frontal lobes, the most recently developed and 'most human' part of the brain. The author examines the wide range of frontal lobe 'styles' in normal individuals, as well as the tragic consequences of neurological disease or brain damage, exploring ways to strengthen cognitive function in both patients and healthy brains. Combining rich clinical case studies with revealing neuropsychological anecdotes, the book serves as both a work of popular science and an intellectual autobiography.
Elkhonon Goldberg is a neuropsychologist and cognitive neuroscientist known for his work in hemispheric specialization and the "novelty-routinization" theory.
