Motor planning –
remember the anti-saccade from my
|
|
|
oculomotor
lecture. That you are here today is
largely
|
|
|
the
responsibility of your frontal cortex.

Suppression of
stimulus-bound behavior.

Frontal
functions must be studied with complicated
|
|
|
paradigms – they
are deficits beyond simple sensory
|
|
|
failure or motor
paralysis
