Resolving response, decision, and strategic control: evidence for a functional topography in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex.

19 Oct 2009 The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (DMPFC) plays a central role in aspects of cognitive control and decision making. Here, we provide evidence for an anterior-to-posterior topography within the DMPFC using tasks that evoke three distinct forms of ... Read more...

The medial temporal lobe and the left inferior prefrontal cortex jointly support interference resolution in verbal working memory.

29 Sep 2009 During working memory retrieval, proactive interference (PI) can be induced by semantic similarity and episodic familiarity. Here, we used fMRI to test hypotheses about the role of the left inferior frontal gyrus (LIFG) and the medial temporal lobe ... Read more...

Distinct orbitofrontal regions encode stimulus and choice valuation.

29 Sep 2009 The weak axiom of revealed preferences suggests that the value of an object can be understood through the simple examination of choices. Although this axiom has driven economic theory, the assumption of equation between value and choice is often ... 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.
