The role of executive function and attention in gait [PDF]
Movement Disorders, 2007 AbstractUntil recently, gait was generally viewed as a largely automated motor task, requiring minimal higher‐level cognitive input. Increasing evidence, however, links alterations in executive function and attention to gait disturbances. This review discusses the role of executive function and attention in healthy walking and gait disorders while ...

The prefrontal cortex and the executive control of attention [PDF]
Experimental Brain Research, 2008 We review two studies aimed at understanding the role of prefrontal cortex (PFC) in the control of attention. The first study examined which attentional functions are critically dependent on PFC by removing PFC unilaterally and transecting the forebrain commissures in two macaques.
