Benefit of the doubt: a new view of the role of the prefrontal cortex in executive functioning and decision making

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The False Tagging Theory (FTT) is a neuroanatomical model of belief and doubt processes that proposes a single, unique function for the prefrontal cortex.

Functions of delay-period activity in the prefrontal cortex and mnemonic scotomas revisited

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2015
Working memory is one of key concepts to understand functions of the prefrontal cortex. Delay-period activity is an important neural correlate to understand the role of working memory in prefrontal functions.

Stress Promotes Drug Seeking Through Glucocorticoid-Dependent Endocannabinoid Mobilization in the Prelimbic Cortex [PDF]

, 2018
Background Clinical reports suggest that rather than directly driving cocaine use, stress may create a biological context within which other triggers for drug use become more potent. We hypothesize that stress-induced increases in corticosterone “set the

Selection for cognitive control: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study on the selection of task-relevant information [PDF]

, 2004
The complex environment we live in makes it necessary to distinguish relevant from irrelevant information constantly and reliably. The aim of the present study was to investigate the neural substrate underlying the selection of task-relevant information.

Chronic administration of isotretinoin induces depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors by altering the neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction pathway in adolescent mice

Translational Psychiatry
Clinical case reports have linked isotretinoin to depressive symptoms. As acne incidence peaks in adolescence, we focused on adolescent exposure. However, prior studies on isotretinoin’s effects in adolescents have yielded inconsistent results, and ...

The prefronto-temporal circuit for the controlled retrieval of information from memory

Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience & Mental Health, 2018
The findings from a series of studies on patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex, as well as experiments with functional neuroimaging on normal subjects, have highlighted the specialized role of the ventral part of the lateral prefrontal cortex in ...

Altered resting-state functional connectivity of the frontal-striatal reward system in social anxiety disorder.

PLoS ONE, 2015
We investigated differences in the intrinsic functional brain organization (functional connectivity) of the human reward system between healthy control participants and patients with social anxiety disorder.

Hyper-connectivity and hyper-plasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex in the valproic acid animal model of autism

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2008
The prefrontal cortex has been extensively implicated in autism to explain deficits in executive and other higher-order functions related to cognition, language, sociability and emotion.

Interactions between the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and amygdala support complex learning and memory. [PDF]

, 2019
One of the guiding principles of memory research in the preceding decades is multiple memory systems theory, which links specific task demands to specific anatomical structures and circuits that are thought to act orthogonally with respect to each other.
