Functional organization and visual representations in human ventral lateral prefrontal cortex
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.

Triple Memory Networks: a Brain-Inspired Method for Continual Learning [PDF]
Continual acquisition of novel experience without interfering previously learned knowledge, i.e. continual learning, is critical for artificial neural networks, but limited by catastrophic forgetting. A neural network adjusts its parameters when learning a new task, but then fails to conduct the old tasks well.

TMS-induced Neural Noise in Sensory Cortex Interferes with Short-term Memory Storage in Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
In a previous study, Harris et al. (2002) found disruption of vibrotactile short-term memory after applying single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to primary somatosensory cortex (SI) early in the maintenance period, and suggested that this

Alcohol and the Prefrontal Cortex [PDF]
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 control of the amygdala during real-time fMRI neurofeedback training of emotion regulation [PDF]
We observed in a previous study (PLoS ONE 6:e24522) that the self-regulation of amygdala activity via real-time fMRI neurofeedback (rtfMRI-nf) with positive emotion induction was associated, in healthy participants, with an enhancement in the functional connectivity between the left amygdala (LA) and six regions of the prefrontal cortex.

Speed-accuracy strategy regulations in prefrontal tumor patients [PDF]
The ability to flexibly switch between fast and accurate decisions is crucial in everyday life. Recent neuroimaging evidence suggested that left lateral prefrontal cortex plays a role in switching from a quick response strategy to an accurate one ...

Does muscle strength predict working memory? A cross-sectional fNIRS study in older adults
ObjectivePrevious research has primarily focused on the association between muscle strength and global cognitive function in older adults, while the connection between muscle strength and advanced cognitive function such as inhibition and working memory (

The pernicious danger of cortical brain maps [PDF]
The parcellation of the primate cerebral cortex into numbered regions, based on cytoarchitecture, began with the pioneering research of neuroanatomist Kobrinian Brodmann. While the borders between regions have changed somewhat, and in some cases continue to be disputed, the idea of dividing the cortex into distinct numbered areas has become central to ...

The hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and perirhinal cortex are critical to incidental order memory. [PDF]
Considerable research in rodents and humans indicates the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex are essential for remembering temporal relationships among stimuli, and accumulating evidence suggests the perirhinal cortex may also be involved.
