Sobre IBD

This book examines the processes of decision-making, planning, and task organization as they relate to the brain, with a particular focus on the frontal lobe. Furthermore, it illustrates how these fundamental functions are manifested in daily life and in more complex social phenomena, such as politics, economics, morality, and how education affects the maturation of the frontal lobe. These topics are addressed in a cursory manner, with the aim of providing an overview of the main aspects and functions related to the frontal lobe, rather than a comprehensive account. However, the book offers a distinctive and integrated perspective on the role of the brain in today’s society, as well as insights on how this information can be utilised to enhance our lives and the world around us.
