Zusammenfassung
Objective: Planning abilities are essential for human life, because most of everyday life activities require a coordinated and planful behavior. Patients with damage to the frontal lobes often show noticeable difficulties in the management of everyday situations. Results of previous studies investigating planning abilities with neuroimaging methods were mixed concerning functional dissociation of specific areas within frontal cortex. There are indications that dorsolateral (DLPFC; BA 9/46) and rostrolateral prefrontal cortex (RLPFC; BA 10) are specifically involved in planning (Christoff & Gabriele, 2000). The a…
