Strength of prefrontal activation predicts intensity of suggestion-induced pain.

30 Aug 2009 Suggestion, a powerful factor in everyday social interaction, is most effective during hypnosis. Subjective evaluations and brain-imaging findings converge to propose that hypnotic suggestion strongly modulates sensory processing. To reveal the ... Read more...

Activation of the caudal anterior cingulate cortex due to task-related interference in an auditory Stroop paradigm.

30 Aug 2009 Successful information processing requires the focusing of attention on a certain stimulus property and the simultaneous suppression of irrelevant information. The Stroop task is a useful paradigm to study such attentional top-down control in the ... Read more...

Neural basis of individualistic and collectivistic views of self.

30 Aug 2009 Individualism and collectivism refer to cultural values that influence how people construe themselves and their relation to the world. Individualists perceive themselves as stable entities, autonomous from other people and their environment, while ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Prefrontal Cortex'

Definition: The rostral part of the frontal lobe, bounded by the inferior precentral fissure in humans, which receives projection fibers from the mediodorsal nucleus of the thalamus. The prefrontal cortex receives afferent fibers from numerous structures of the diencephalon, mesencephalon, and limbic system as well as cortical afferents of visual, auditory, and somatic origin.
