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 ...

When “happy” means “sad”: neuropsychological evidence for the right prefrontal cortex contribution to executive semantic processing [PDF]
, 2007 The contribution of the left inferior prefrontal cortex in semantic processing has been widely investigated in the last decade. Converging evidence from functional imaging studies shows that this region is involved in the “executive” or “controlled ...

Striatum-Centered Fiber Connectivity Is Associated with the Personality Trait of Cooperativeness. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Cooperativeness is an essential behavioral trait evolved to facilitate group living. Social and cognitive mechanisms involved in cooperation (e.g., motivation, reward encoding, action evaluation, and executive functions) are sub-served by the striatal ...

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 ...

Portosystemic hepatic encephalopathy model shows reversal learning impairment and dysfunction of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex and regions involved in motivated behavior [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience (2011)18(5):690-4, 2011 Hepatic encephalopathy is a neurological complication that affects attention and memory. Experimental animal models have been used to study hepatic Encephalopathy, the most frequent being the portacaval shunt. In order to determine learning impairment and brain functional alterations in this model, we assessed reversal learning and neural metabolic ...

Top-Down Control of Motor Cortex Ensembles by Dorsomedial Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
, 2006 SummaryDorsomedial prefrontal cortex is critical for the temporal control of behavior. Dorsomedial prefrontal cortex might alter neuronal activity in areas such as motor cortex to inhibit temporally inappropriate responses.
