The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex can be seen as fundamentally premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the prefrontal cortex consists of an action abstraction hierarchy whose core function is the potentiation and depotentiation of possible action plans at different levels of granularity.

Connectivity-based parcellation of the thalamus explains specific cognitive and behavioural symptoms in patients with bilateral thalamic infarct [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 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 ...

Development of prefrontal cortex [PDF]

Neuropsychopharmacology, 2021
AbstractDuring 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. Although neurons of the PFC are generated before birth, the differentiation of its neurons and development of ...

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-

Your verbal questions beginning with 'what' will rapidly deactivate the left prefrontal cortex of listeners

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.

The Role of Visual Features in Text-Based CAPTCHAs: An fNIRS Study for Usable Security [PDF]

Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience, Volume 2021, Article ID 8842420, 2023
To mitigate dictionary attacks or similar undesirable automated attacks to information systems, developers mostly prefer using CAPTCHA challenges as Human Interactive Proofs (HIPs) to distinguish between human users and scripts. Appropriate use of CAPTCHA requires a setup that balances between robustness and usability during the design of a challenge ...

Hyperactivity of medial prefrontal cortex pyramidal neurons occurs in a mouse model of early-stage Alzheimer’s disease without β-amyloid accumulation

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.

Network based statistical analysis detects changes induced by continuous theta-burst stimulation on brain activity at rest [PDF]

, 2014
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.
