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.

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 ...

Prefrontal Cortex Activation and Young Driver Behaviour: A fNIRS Study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Road traffic accidents consistently show a significant over-representation for young, novice and particularly male drivers. This research examines the prefrontal cortex activation of young drivers and the changes in activation associated with ...

Anterior Prefrontal Contributions to Implicit Attention Control
Brain Sciences, 2012 Prefrontal cortex function has traditionally been associated with explicit executive function. Recently, however, evidence has been presented that lateral prefrontal cortex is also involved in high-level cognitive processes such as task set selection or ...

Hyperconnectivity of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex in obsessive-compulsive disorder
Brain and Neuroscience Advances, 2018 Neuroimaging research has highlighted maladaptive thalamo-cortico-striatal interactions in obsessive-compulsive disorder as well as a more general deficit in prefrontal functioning linked with compromised executive functioning.

The topology of connections between rat prefrontal, motor and sensory cortices
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 The connections of prefrontal cortex (PFC) were investigated in the rat brain to determine the order and location of input and output connections to motor and somatosensory cortex.

Perturbation of the right prefrontal cortex disrupts interference control
NeuroImage, 2020 Resolving cognitive interference is central for successful everyday cognition and behavior. The Stroop task is a classical measure of cognitive interference.

Neuropsychology of prefrontal cortex
Indian Journal of Psychiatry, 2008 The history of clinical frontal lobe study is long and rich which provides valuable insights into neuropsychologic determinants of functions of prefrontal cortex (PFC). PFC is often classified as multimodal association cortex as extremely processed information from various sensory modalities is integrated here in a precise fashion to form the ...
