Abstract

The disturbances caused by disconnection of the frontal cortex and other brain regions including lesion of regulatory functions are considered. It is emphasized that lateral prefrontal cortex plays especial role in cognitive processes. Impaired connection beginning in the lateral prefrontal cortex leads to cognitive and behavioral disorders. Neuropsychiatric disorders due to orbitofrontal and anterior cingulate circle are descripted. The links/circuits between the basal ganglia and the cerebral cortex of the brain, providing implementation of a motor, cognitive, emotional and behavioral functions, is not limited to these areas, and is not exclusive to the front of the brain. There are circles between other sections of the brain and basal ganglia, providing perception involved in decision-making on the basis of incoming information to the brain of different modalities.
