Dr. Ermshar coauthors a chapter in this critically acclaimed book.
It was not long ago that scientists and clinicians considered the frontal lobes an enigma and could teach only vaguely about their functions. The fresh and contemporary third edition of this acclaimed book provides readers with critical analyses of newly discovered mechanisms and functions of the frontal lobes. Prior editions have been on the required reading lists for trainees and practitioners in behavioral neurology, neuropsychiatry,neuropsychology, and cognitive neuroscience. In the third edition, the editors have added a variety of new topics, including frontal systems dysfunction in a number of psychiatric disorders and state-of-the-art treatments for frontal dysfunction across neurological and psychiatric conditions. The book editors have assembled a strong cast of contributing authors to provide a nuanced understanding of frontal systems function and dysfunction. Our very own, Dr. Annette Ermshar is a featured author within the Neuropsychiatric Disorders chapter, wherein she and co-author Dr. Kyle Boone discuss The Role of the Frontal Lobes in Antisocial and Aggressive Behavior: Review of the Research and Legal Implications. With up-to-date coverage of imaging, neuropsychiatric disorders, genetics, treatment approaches, and networks underlying salience, social behavior, and apathy, this book will also enable seasoned scientists and clinicians to stay current with the 21st century frontal lobe neuroscience breakthroughs.
