TitlePassingham, Richard Edward: certificate of election to the Royal Society
Date14 May 2009
DescriptionPassingham has transformed our view of the frontal lobes by his work on decision making and executive control in the human and monkey brain. He has introduced new paradigms, pioneered our understanding of the premotor and supplementary motor cortex, and changed our view of the role of the prefrontal cortex. Finally, he has extended brain imaging from anatomical mapping into physiology, demonstrating such general principles as that the contribution of an area to a task is not static, and that the same area can interact dynamically with one subsystem in one context and with another subsystem in another context.
