The specific topics discussed in the chapters of this volume are purposefully diverse: they range from membrane properties of prefrontal neurons to cognitive psychology. Nevertheless, this volume must not be regarded as a mere collection of writings with the different sub-themes. As you will see, chaptersoften vigorously encompass domains of the prefrontal field in effort to provide a big picture. That is actually what we attempted to do in this volume. On one hand, we have accumulated knowledge on the properties of neurons and synapses in the prefrontal cortex as well as the actions of critical neuromodulators such as dopamine. On the other hand, behavioral and cognitive neurosciences have begun to reveal the fascinating role of the prefrontal cortex in such mental processes as working memory, attention switching and rule following, and long-term memory. Needless to say, our ultimate goal as neurobiologists is to know what relationship there is between these cellular and cognitive processes. This volume is meant to serve as a comprehensive introduction towards that goal. Readers will be informed, for example, of how plasticity of prefrontal neurons is regulated, how it is involved in certain cognitive processes in rodents, and how the rodent models can apply to the primates. Equally, the prefrontal cortex- dependent cognitive processes in human and non-human primates are themselves analyzed in detail, which will invite the readers to refer to the underlying cellular processes. The prefrontal cortex is a most important brain region to study with a multidisciplinary attitude. It is regarded by many as the highest-order executive controller, which determines an appropriate coupling between a sensory input and a motor output to meet environmental demands. It is obvious that our cognitive ability heavily relies on the function of the prefrontal cortex. By analyzing the behavior of prefrontal neurons and synapses as well as modulatory inputs, and by relating them to the high- order cognitive processes, we may be able to pave the way for understanding mechanistic properties of our cognition. In the near future, we hope that our knowledge will be placed in a broader context of the neuroscience, and more details on the interactions between prefrontal cortex and the anatomically remote brain areas such as the thalamus, hippocampus, amygdala, and striatum will be analyzed. When this volume was in the final stage of the editorial process, in the beginning of August, we were struck by the news that the leading prefrontal
