“…Commonly, various synthetic functions like "spatial memory," "response inhibition," "short-term memory," "polymodal integration," "planning," "the temporal structuring of behavior" were allocated to different regions of prefrontal cortex (e.g. Bignall & Imbert 1969, Fuster 1980, Jacobsen 1936, Mishkin 1964, Rosenkilde 1979, Stuss & Benson 1984. However, the fact that such functions may be supramodal or integrative or localized in prefrontal cortex actually told us very little about how they might be related to functions carried out in other parts of the cortex and subcortical areas.…”
