The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex: Anatomy, Evolution, and the Origin of Insight
Abstract
The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded dramatically during primate evolution. This book presents a new theory about its fundamental function. The book argues that primate-specific parts of the prefrontal cortex evolved to reduce errors in foraging choices, so that particular ancestors of modern humans could overcome periodic food shortages. These developments laid the foundation for working out problems in our imagination, which resulted in the insights that allow humans to avoid errors entirely, at least at times. The book details which parts of the prefrontal cortex evolved exclusively in primates, how its connections explain why the prefrontal cortex alone can perform its function, and why other parts of the brain cannot do what the prefrontal cortex does. Based on an analysis of its evolutionary history, the book uses evidence from lesion, imaging, and cell-recording experiments to argue that the primate prefrontal cortex generates goals from a current behavioral context and that it can do so on the basis of single events. As a result, the prefrontal cortex uses the attentive control of behavior to augment an older general-purpose learning system, one that evolved very early in the history of animals. This older system learns slowly and cumulatively over many experiences based on reinforcement. The chapters argue that a new learning system evolved in primates at a particular time and place in their history, that it did so to decrease the errors inherent in the older learning system, and that severe volatility of food resources provided the driving force for these developments.

There is no equivalent in rodents of most of the primate OFC.
“First, the rodent OFC contains only agranular cortex, which corresponds to only a small region of the primate OFC, posteriorly (Wise, 2008; Passingham and Wise, 2012; Passingham, 2021), and these authors provide evidence that there is no equivalent in rodents of most of the primate OFC.”

Anthropoid primates have evolved unique prefrontal areas that are thought to provide a cognitive advantage in foraging decisions that rely on executive function.
“For example, the best performing species in our sample were predominantly anthropoid primates, species that have evolved unique prefrontal areas that are thought to provide a cognitive advantage in foraging decisions that rely on executive function (176-178).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
