Regional frontal injuries cause distinct impairments in cognitive control

Alexander MP, Stuss DT, Picton T el al. Neurology 2007; 68: 1515-1523. 42 patients and 38 CS performed a modified Stroop test. Lesions in the left ventrolateral area produced errors of commission (ie utilization behavior) whereas lesions of the right ant cing, SMA, pre SMA or DL area caused a slowed reaction time (errors of omission).

Comment- a wonderful example of an advanced ablation paradigm article that is current, parcelling out frontal lobe function.
