The Prefrontal Region: Its Early History
Abstract
This historical sketch deals with the early development of knowledge and concepts about the structure and functions of the prefrontal region, i.e., the region anterior and mesial to those areas of frontal cortex having to do with motor functions (motor cortex and frontal eye fields) and speech (Broca’s area). The greater part of the prefrontal region has a characteristic cellular structure, frontal granular cortex, and within the region a number of areas are differentiated from each other on architectonic grounds.

Destruction of prefrontal cortex is not associated with loss of basic sensory or motor capacities or with obvious impairment of speech.

The very existence of cognitive abilities supported by the frontal lobes was doubted for many years.

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.
