Neuroscience
The frontal lobes have been in the news the past few days, with a number of media resports about a research study examining the neuropsychology of sarcasm. Here is a small collection of recent books about the frontal lobes:
Fuster, J. (1997). The prefrontal cortex: Anatomy, physiology, and neuropsychology of the frontal lobes. Raven Press.
Stuss, D. & Knight, R. (2002). Principles of frontal lobe function.
Oxford University Press.
Miller, B. & Cummings, J. (1998). The human frontal lobes: Functions and disorders. Guilford Press.
Lichter, D. & Cummings, J. (2000). Frontal-subcortical cortical circuits in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Guilford Press.
Goldberg, E. (2001). The executive brain: Frontal lobes and the civilized mind. Oxford University Press.

- Compulsive Collecting Of Televisions
In our second case study of "forced collectionism" caused by an acquired injury to the orbitofrontal cortex, a 49 year old man started collecting an unwieldy number of televisions and other household appliances (Volle et al., 2002): A 40-year-old-man...

Looking for reading material for a longish train trip I am about to take, I decided to hit to bookshelves of my Square's Barnes & Noble to see what popular neuroscience titles might be a good diversion (as well as potential supplementary 'lighter'...

- Podcast / Interviews I've Enjoyed
I've heard some very interesting podcasts / interviews lately & instead of blogging about each one, I thought I'd just list them with a very brief note about what was relevant for cog sci. WNYC's Radio Lab is a fun 50-minute show covering...
