Functional specialization within the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: a review of anatomical and physiological studies of non-human primates.

@article{citeulike:1224679, abstract = {The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) possesses cortico-cortical connections with the parietal and premotor cortices that are involved in visuomotor control of actions.
