Prefrontal cortex contributions to controlled memory judgment : fMRI evidence from adolescents and young adults [PDF]
Cortical regions supporting cognitive control and memory judgment are structurally immature in adolescents. Here we studied adolescents (13-15 y.o.) and young adults (20-22 y.o.) using a recognition memory paradigm that modulates cognitive control ...

TULP4, a novel E3 ligase gene, participates in neuronal migration as a candidate in schizophrenia
Mutations identified from four SCZ pedigrees resulted in decreased TULP4 expression. Tulp4 knockdown caused delayed neuron migration in embryonic mice, and impaired cognition and prepulse inhibition in adult mice. These phenotypes may be related to TULP4 through its involvement in the formation of a novel E3 ubiquitin ligases.

Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions : effects of practice and expertise. [PDF]
In this event-related fMRI study, we demonstrate the effects of a single session of practising configural hand actions (guitar chords) on cortical activations during observation, motor preparation, and imitative execution.

Physiological Dysfunction of the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Schizophrenia Revisited [PDF]
Evidence implicates subtle neuronal pathology of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in schizophrenia, but how this pathology is reflected in physiological neuroimaging experiments remains controversial. We investigated PFC function in schizophrenia using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a parametric version of the n-back working memory (WM ...

Electrophysiological Heterogeneity of Fast-Spiking Interneurons: Chandelier versus Basket Cells [PDF]
In the prefrontal cortex, parvalbumin-positive inhibitory neurons play a prominent role in the neural circuitry that subserves working memory, and alterations in these neurons contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Pharmacological Manipulation of Cortical Inhibition in the Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
Cortical inhibition (CI) occurs largely through GABA receptor-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission, which can be modulated by cholinergic, dopaminergic, and glutamatergic inputs. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to index CI through a paradigm known as long-interval CI (LICI).

Methamphetamine-Triggered Neurotoxicity in Human Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex
Background: Methamphetamine (MA), is an extremely addictive stimulant that adversely affects the central nervous system. Accumulating evidence indicates that molecular mechanisms such as oxidative stress, apoptosis, and autophagy are involved in the toxicity of MA.
