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 ...

The whole prefrontal cortex is premotor cortex [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B, 2021 Abstract We propose that the entirety of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) can be seen as fundamentally premotor in nature. By this, we mean that the PFC consists of an action abstraction hierarchy whose core function is the potentiation and depotentiation of possible action plans at different levels of granularity.

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.

Prefrontal involvement in imitation learning of hand actions : effects of practice and expertise. [PDF]
, 2007 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.

Alcohol and the Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
, 2010 The prefrontal cortex occupies the anterior portion of the frontal lobes and is thought to be one of the most complex anatomical and functional structures of the mammalian brain. Its major role is to integrate and interpret inputs from cortical and sub-cortical structures and use this information to develop purposeful responses that reflect both ...

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.
