Abnormal functional specialization within medial prefrontal cortex in high-functioning autism: a multi-voxel similarity analysis [PDF]
, 2009 Multi-voxel pattern analyses have proved successful in decoding mental states from fMRI data, but have not been used to examine brain differences associated with atypical populations. We investigated a group of 16 (14 males) high-functioning participants

The world according to me: Personal relevance and the medial prefrontal cortex [PDF]
, 2013 More than a decade of neuroimaging research has established that anterior and posterior cortical midline regions are consistently recruited during self-referential thinking. These regions are engaged under conditions of directed cognition, such as during

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 ...

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 ...

Functional organization and visual representations in human ventral lateral prefrontal cortex
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Recent neuroimaging studies in both human and non-human primates have identified face selective activation in the ventral lateral prefrontal cortex even in the absence of working memory demands.

Bilinearity, rules, and prefrontal cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2007 Humans can be instructed verbally to perform computationally complex cognitive tasks; their performance then improves relatively slowly over the course of practice. Many skills underlie these abilities; in this paper, we focus on the particular question of a uniform architecture for the instantiation of habitual performance and the storage, recall, and

Integrative Modeling of Prefrontal Cortex
Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2017 AbstractpFC is generally regarded as a region critical for abstract reasoning and high-level cognitive behaviors. As such, it has become the focus of intense research involving a wide variety of subdisciplines of neuroscience and employing a diverse range of methods.

The cutaneous 'rabbit' illusion affects human primary sensory cortex somatopically [PDF]
, 2006 We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study neural correlates of a robust somatosensory illusion that can dissociate tactile perception from physical stimulation.

Neuron, 1999 By Joaquin M. Fuster. 1997. Pp. 352. Philadelphia: Lippincott-Raven.Price £60. ISBN 0-397-51849-8. In the first edition of The Prefrontal Cortex the author set out his hypothesis concerning the functions of the prefrontal association cortex. These are conceived as being not modality specific but as integrative in nature, orchestrating the \`sensory ...
