Reward-seeking and discrimination deficits displayed by hypodopaminergic mice are prevented in mice lacking dopamine D4 receptors.

30 Oct 2009 The dopamine D4 receptor (D4R) is predominantly expressed in the prefrontal cortex, a brain area that integrates motor, rewarding, and cognitive information. Because participation of D4Rs in executive learning is largely unknown, we challenged D4R ...

Altered corticostriatal functional connectivity in obsessive-compulsive disorder.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Neurobiological models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) emphasize disturbances in the function and connectivity of brain corticostriatal networks, or "loops." Although neuroimaging studies of patients have supported this network model ...

Altered effect of dopamine transporter 3'UTR VNTR genotype on prefrontal and striatal function in schizophrenia.

30 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: The dopamine transporter plays a key role in the regulation of central dopaminergic transmission, which modulates cognitive processing. Disrupted dopamine function and impaired executive processing are robust features of schizophrenia. ...

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 ...

Cocaine exposure in utero alters synaptic plasticity in the medial prefrontal cortex of postnatal rats.

5 Oct 2009 Cocaine exposure during pregnancy causes abnormality in fetal brain development, leading to cognitive dysfunction of the offspring, but the underlying cellular mechanism remains mostly unclear. In this study, we examined synaptic functions in the ...

Association of ideomotor apraxia with frontal gray matter volume loss in corticobasal syndrome.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To determine the brain areas associated with specific components of ideomotor apraxia (IMA) in corticobasal syndrome (CBS). DESIGN: Case-control and cross-sectional study. PARTICIPANTS: Forty-eight patients with CBS and 14 control ...

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the prefrontal cortex enhances complex verbal associative thought.

29 Sep 2009 The remote associates test (RAT) is a complex verbal task with associations to both creative thought and general intelligence. RAT problems require not only lateral associations and the internal production of many words but a convergent focus on a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Differential effects of topiramate on prefrontal glutamatergic transmission when combined with raclopride or clozapine.

29 Sep 2009 Treatment with topiramate may improve negative symptoms in schizophrenia when added to typical antipsychotic drugs (APDs) but not to clozapine. Both dopaminergic and glutamatergic transmissions in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) are facilitated ...
