title: Jackson and the frontal executive hierarchy.
abstract: 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.
