What exactly is the frontal lobe of the brain, and why is it important? In this podcast, PPLS’s Sarah MacPherson, Senior Lecturer in Human Cognitive Neuroscience in the Psychology Department, explains the complexities of frontal lobe functions in healthy ageing and damaged brains.
Sarah talks about the different types of testing methods used to assess people with frontal lobe damage, as explored in her book The Handbook of Frontal Lobe Assessment. She also explains what these different approaches can ultimately mean in outcomes for patients.
