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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Reciprocal anatomical relationship between primary sensory and prefrontal cortices in the human brain [PDF]
, 2011 The human brain exhibits remarkable interindividual variability in cortical architecture. Despite extensive evidence for the behavioral consequences of such anatomical variability in individual cortical regions, it is unclear whether and how different ...
