Development of prefrontal cortex [PDF]
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2021 During evolution, the cerebral cortex advances by increasing in surface and the introduction of new cytoarchitectonic areas among which the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is considered to be the substrate of highest cognitive functions.

Current Biology, 2022 The prefrontal cortex is a well-studied but, in terms of understanding what it is for, deeply divisive part of the brain located at the front of the head. Perhaps the least controversial feature of the prefrontal cortex is its complexity. The prefrontal cortex is anatomically, functionally, and computationally complex.

Prefrontal cortex and depression
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2021 The prefrontal cortex (PFC) has emerged as one of the regions most consistently impaired in major depressive disorder (MDD). Although functional and structural PFC abnormalities have been reported in both individuals with current MDD as well as those at increased vulnerability to MDD, this information has not translated into better treatment and ...

Working Memory in the Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2017 The prefrontal cortex participates in a variety of higher cognitive functions. The concept of working memory is now widely used to understand prefrontal functions.

Brain Computations, 2020 The prefrontal cortex receives perceptual information from the temporal and parietal cortices, and is in a position to perform ‘off-line’ processing, including holding items in a short-term memory when the items are no longer present in the input ...

The role of prefrontal cortex in cognitive control and executive function
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2021 Concepts of cognitive control (CC) and executive function (EF) are defined in terms of their relationships with goal-directed behavior versus habits and controlled versus automatic processing, and related to the functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC ...

Differential contributions of dorso-ventral and rostro-caudal prefrontal white matter tracts to cognitive control in healthy older adults. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Prefrontal cortex mediates cognitive control by means of circuitry organized along dorso-ventral and rostro-caudal axes. Along the dorso-ventral axis, ventrolateral PFC controls semantic information, whereas dorsolateral PFC encodes task rules. Along the

Load-dependent activation of bilateral prefrontal cortex: an fNIRS study
Di-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2022 Objective To investigate the load-dependent activation in bilateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) during working memory tasks by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Methods Thirty-four undergraduates (17 males and 17 females) completed a standard N-

Prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and threat processing: implications for PTSD
Neuropsychopharmacology, 2021 Posttraumatic stress disorder can be viewed as a disorder of fear dysregulation. An abundance of research suggests that the prefrontal cortex is central to fear processing—that is, how fears are acquired and strategies to regulate or diminish fear ...
