Jackson and the frontal executive hierarchy.
Executive actions are represented and hierarchically organized in the cortex of the frontal lobe. The representation and coordination of an action or series of actions have the same anatomical substrate: an executive neuronal network (cognit) in forntal cortex. That network interacts structurally and dynamically with perceptual networks of posterior cortex at the highest levels of the perception-action cycle.
