Abstract
This article summarizes the current theories regarding the locations and fu nctions of the three primary frontal lobe circuits. It forms the framework for structuring functional magnetic resonance imaging investigations. It ca n be used to assist in (a) detecting subtle lesions of the frontal circuits and (b)applying the current theories of neuropsychiatry to assess prognosi s and to plan rehabilitation.
