Abstract
Neafsey organizes his discussion from an
anatomical/functional point of view while Henderson & Dittrich's
commentary deals mainly with the problem of the mutual
relationships between functions and structures. We address each of
their critcisms individually.
Keywords
cognitive disorder, dorsolateral prefrontal cortex,
mental disorder, neuropsychology, obsessive-compulsive disorder,
orbitofrontal cortex, psychosis, schizophrenia.
