Social Cognition and the Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience Reviews, 2003 Social cognitive neuroscience is a rapidly emerging field that utilizes cognitive neuroscientific techniques (e.g., lesion studies, neuroimaging) to address concepts traditionally in the social psychological realm (e.g., attitudes, stereotypes). The purpose of this article is to review published neuroscientific and neuropsychological research into ...

The Prefrontal 'Cortex' in the Pigeon
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 1982In 3 pigeons ablation of the posterodorsolateral neostriatum impaired delayed alternation without affecting visual discrimination. In mammals the same selective deficit is produced by lesions in the prefrontal system. The presently ablated neostriatal region resembles the mammalian prefrontal cortex also by being richly innervated with dopaminergic ...

Plasticity and Memory in the Prefrontal Cortex
Reviews in the Neurosciences, 2008Neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies in humans have shown that the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in long-term memory functioning. In general, the participation of the PFC in long-term memory has been attributed to its role in executive control rather than information storage.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) circuits are characterized by several distinct features. First, the input–output connections of a PFC circuit with the rest of the brain are extraordinarily extensive. In the primates, pyramidal neurons in PFC are greatly more spinous than in the primary sensory areas, so they have a much larger capacity for synaptic ...

Fables of the prefrontal cortex
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1995AbstractOn the basis of neuroiinaging studies, Posner & Raichle summarily report that the prefrontal cortex is involved in executive functioning and attention. In contrast to that superficial view, we briefly describe a testable model of the kinds of representations that are stored in prefrontal cortex, which, when activated, are expressed via ...

Publisher Summary Transgenic mouse models hold promise for elucidating the genetic basis of human pathophysiological conditions including addiction, schizophrenia, and dementia. These disorders typically involve changes in the regulation of emotion, behavioral flexibility, working memory, and decision making, behaviors that are critically dependent on

Dopamine, the prefrontal cortex and schizophrenia
Journal of Psychopharmacology, 1997Dysfunction of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in schizophrenia has been suspected based on observations from clinical, neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies. Since the PFC receives a dense dopaminergic innervation, abnormalities of the mesocortical dopamine system have been proposed to contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia.

Catecholamine regulation of the prefrontal cortex
Journal of Psychopharmacology, 1997The catecholamines dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine provide an essential modulatory influence on the working memory and attentional functions of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). The following critique reviews evidence that (1) either insufficient or excessive DA D1 receptor stimulation is detrimental to PFC function, while DA stimulation of the D2 family ...

Finding prefrontal cortex in the rat
Brain Research, 2016The prefrontal cortex of the rat. I. Cortical projection of the mediodorsal nucleus. II. Efferent connections The cortical projection field of the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus (MD) was identified in the rat using the Fink-Heimer silver technique for tracing degenerating fibers.
