Importance of the prefrontal cortex

Nice post over on the DI blog regarding an investigation of the crucial role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in executive functioning/working memory. I don't have the time to discuss in depth, but I've been reading considerable brain research the past few months that consistently point to the DLPFC being involved in executive functioning and working memory. A finding worth monitoring.
