We confirmed that the damaged tracts link areas that in contemporary neuroscience are considered functionally engaged for tasks related to emotion and decision-making (Gage), language production (Leborgne), and declarative memory (Molaison).
The rich connectivity of the cortex in itself is one of the main characteristics of this part of the brain (Braitenberg 1978) and provides the basis for higher cognitive functions, such as memory, learning, decision-making, and language.
After appraising 14 measures, the Control Preference Scale and Satisfaction With Decision-making English-language scales were modified and evaluated in interviews (n = 9), focus groups (n = 22) and piloting (n = 16).
