Comparison of prefrontal atrophy and episodic memory performance in dysexecutive Alzheimer’s disease and behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia [PDF]

, 2016
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) sometimes presents with prominent executive dysfunction and associated prefrontal cortex atrophy. The impact of such executive deficits on episodic memory performance as well as their neural correlates in AD, however, remains ...

Distinct Roles of the Prefrontal and Posterior Parietal Cortices in Response Inhibition

Cell Reports, 2016
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex have been implicated in the planning of movements and inhibition of inappropriate responses, though their precise roles in these functions are not known.

The topology of connections between rat prefrontal and temporal cortices [PDF]

, 2015
Understanding the structural organization of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) is an important step toward determining its functional organization. Here we investigated the organization of PFC using different neuronal tracers.

Schizophrenia and reelin: a model based on prenatal stress to study epigenetics, brain development and behavior

Biological Research
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder that results in a significant disability for the patient. The disorder is characterized by impairment of the adaptive orchestration of actions, a cognitive function that is mainly dependent on the prefrontal

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Control Encoding and Retrieval of Associative Recognition Memory through Plasticity in the Medial Prefrontal Cortex

Cell Reports, 2018
Summary: Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed in the medial prefrontal cortex have critical roles in cognitive function. However, whether nAChRs are required for associative recognition memory and the mechanisms by which nAChRs may ...

Does muscle strength predict working memory? A cross-sectional fNIRS study in older adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2023
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 (

Independent coding of absolute duration and distance magnitudes in the prefrontal cortex [PDF]

, 2017
The estimation of space and time can interfere with each other, and neuroimaging studies have shown overlapping activation in the parietal and prefrontal cortical areas.

Medial prefrontal and anterior insular connectivity in early schizophrenia and major depressive disorder: a resting functional MRI evaluation of large-scale brain network models

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016
Anomalies in the medial prefrontal cortex, anterior insulae and large-scale brain networks associated with them have been proposed to underlie the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder (MDD).
