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 ...

Performance- and stimulus-dependent oscillations in monkey prefrontal cortex during short-term memory [PDF]
, 2009 Short-term memory requires the coordination of sub-processes like encoding, retention, retrieval and comparison of stored material to subsequent input. Neuronal oscillations have an inherent time structure, can effectively coordinate synaptic integration

Specialization of the rostral prefrontal cortex for distinct analogy processes [PDF]
, 2010 Analogical reasoning is central to learning and abstract thinking. It involves using a more familiar situation (source) to make inferences about a less familiar situation (target).

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.

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 ...

Ventrolateral prefrontal cortex activation and attention bias in response to angry faces in adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder [PDF]
, 2006 OBJECTIVE: While adolescent anxiety disorders represent prevalent, debilitating conditions, few studies have explored their brain physiology. Using event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and a behavioral measure of attention to angry ...

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 ...

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.

Competing neural responses for auditory and visual decisions [PDF]
, 2007 Why is it hard to divide attention between dissimilar activities, such as reading and listening to a conversation? We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study interference between simple auditory and visual decisions, independently of ...
