PMC1569489 M. Petrides

This is one tough cookies to crack! Holly smoke! Took me good three days of reading and still not sure how much I understood.

Key points I need to recall:

  • Region 10 frontal pole regions might be the ultimate highest level of abstract thinking
  • DLPFC under control of region 10
    • heavily involved with MONITORING
    • Defined as not just remember/familarity but have to process the memory somewhat
  • IFC under control of region 10
    • making a decision/judgement
    • BUT also can process interact with working memory

Key Figure 4, 8, 9

The PET image is quite convincing but I wonder why it is only on the right side.
