Abstract:
There is a wealth of evidence indicating that the septal region, which can be considered synonymous with the anterior compartment of the basal fore-brain, plays a role in cognitive processes. Impairments of memory and attention have been reported to follow damage involving the septum and adjacent cortical regions in animals and humans.
