Functional organization and visual representations in human ventral lateral prefrontal cortex
Recent neuroimaging studies in both human and non-human primates have identified face selective activation in the ventral lateral prefrontal cortex even in the absence of working memory demands.

Gray-matter volume, midbrain dopamine D2/D3 receptors and drug craving in methamphetamine users. [PDF]
Dysfunction of the mesocorticolimbic system has a critical role in clinical features of addiction. Despite evidence suggesting that midbrain dopamine receptors influence amphetamine-induced dopamine release and that dopamine is involved in ...

Network based statistical analysis detects changes induced by continuous theta-burst stimulation on brain activity at rest [PDF]
We combined continuous theta-burst stimulation (cTBS) and resting state (RS)-fMRI approaches to investigate changes in functional connectivity (FC) induced by right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)-cTBS at rest in a group of healthy subjects.

Distinct Roles of the Prefrontal and Posterior Parietal Cortices in Response Inhibition
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex have been implicated in the planning of movements and inhibition of inappropriate responses, though their precise roles in these functions are not known.
