Chronic myocardial infarction changed the excitatory–inhibitory synaptic balance in the medial prefrontal cortex of rat

open access: yesMolecular Pain, 2018
The medial prefrontal cortex is a key area for the regulation of pain and emotion. However, the functional involvement of the medial prefrontal cortex for visceral nociception, at the neuronal or synaptic level, is obscure yet.

DRD2/CHRNA5 interaction on prefrontal biology and physiology during working memory. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Prefrontal behavior and activity in humans are heritable. Studies in animals demonstrate an interaction between dopamine D2 receptors and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on prefrontal behavior but evidence in humans is weak.

Anterior Prefrontal Cortex Contributes to Action Selection through Tracking of Recent Reward Trends [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The functions of prefrontal cortex remain enigmatic, especially for its anterior sectors, putatively ranging from planning to self-initiated behavior, social cognition, task switching, and memory.

NR2A- and NR2B-containing NMDA Receptors in the Prelimbic Medial Prefrontal Cortex Differentially Mediate Trace, Delay, and Contextual Fear Conditioning [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Activation of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDAR) in the prelimbic medial prefrontal cortex (PL mPFC) is necessary for the acquisition of both trace and contextual fear memories, but it is not known how specific NR2 subunits support each association ...

Distraction of olfactory bulb-medial prefrontal cortex circuit may induce anxiety-like behavior in allergic rhinitis.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Allergic rhinitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, which is associated with high incidence of anxiety symptom. There is evidence that medial prefrontal cortex modulates anxiety-related behaviors and receives projections ...

Resting-state coupling between core regions within the central-executive and salience networks contributes to working memory performance

open access: yesFrontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016
Previous studies investigated the distinct roles played by different cognitive regions and suggested that the patterns of connectivity of these regions are associated with working memory.

Interference between space and time estimations: from behavior to neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Influences between time and space can be found in our daily life in which we are surrounded by numerous spatial metaphors to refer to time. For instance, when we move files from one folder to another in our computer a horizontal line that grows from left

Recent Saccadic Eye Movement Research Uncovers Patterns of Cognitive Dysfunction in Schizophrenia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The frontal cortex and the subcortical areas of the brain play a major role in the control of thought and action. Eye movements are increasingly used in neuropsychological research to explore the executive and sensorimotor functions of such neural ...

Increased firing irregularity as an emergent property of neural-state transition in monkey prefrontal cortex. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Flexible behaviors are organized by complex neural networks in the prefrontal cortex. Recent studies have suggested that such networks exhibit multiple dynamical states, and can switch rapidly from one state to another.

Alterations in brain functional connectivity in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A systematic review and meta‐analysis of functional near‐infrared spectroscopy studies

open access: yesBrain and Behavior
Emerging evidences suggest that cognitive deficits in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) are associated with disruptions in brain functional connectivity (FC).
