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-

Scientific Reports, 2021 The left prefrontal cortex is essential for verbal communication. It remains uncertain at what timing, to what extent, and what type of phrase initiates left-hemispheric dominant prefrontal activation during comprehension of spoken sentences.

Attention-dependent modulation of cortical taste circuits revealed by granger causality with signal-dependent noise [PDF]
, 2013 We show, for the first time, that in cortical areas, for example the insular, orbitofrontal, and lateral prefrontal cortex, there is signal-dependent noise in the fMRI blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) time series, with the variance of the noise ...

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023 The normal function of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is essential for regulating neurocognition, but it is disrupted in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before the accumulation of Aβ and the appearance of symptoms.

Subtle alterations in brain anatomy may change an individual's personality in chronic pain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 It is well established that gross prefrontal cortex damage can affect an individual's personality. It is also possible that subtle prefrontal cortex changes associated with conditions such as chronic pain, and not detectable until recent advances in ...

Connectivity-based parcellation of the thalamus explains specific cognitive and behavioural symptoms in patients with bilateral thalamic infarct [PDF]
, 2013 A novel approach based on diffusion tractography was used here to characterise the cortico-thalamic connectivity in two patients, both presenting with an isolated bilateral infarct in the thalamus, but exhibiting partially different cognitive and ...

Forebrain NR2B overexpression facilitating the prefrontal cortex long-term potentiation and enhancing working memory function in mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Prefrontal cortex plays an important role in working memory, attention regulation and behavioral inhibition. Its functions are associated with NMDA receptors.
