|
| The cerebellum is functionally linked with the prefrontal cortex. |
|
| The most noteworthy damage to the brain probably occurs in the prefrontal cortex, which controls what is call the Executive Functions. |
|
| This substance stimulates neuronal activity in a specific region of the prefrontal cortex and could give rise to a new class of anti-depressants. |
|
| Counting backward by 7s is a complex cognitive task, and calls upon the brain's center for higher thoughts in the prefrontal cortex. |
|
| Six months later, the researchers found, the subjects who showed the most activity in the brain's right prefrontal cortex also had the lowest antibodies. |
|
| Third, unique human expression patterns were more common in the prefrontal cortex than in the cerebellum. |
|
| The findings suggest that damage to the right mesial prefrontal cortex causes abnormal hoarding behavior by releasing the primitive hoarding urge from its normal restraints. |
|
| Healthy habits-correct nourishment and exercise-Increase blood flow in the prefrontal cortex. |
|
| Their research indicates that the prefrontal cortex of the brain has a rapid period of growth just before puberty. |
|
| The regions of the brain primarily involved with these forms of cognitive functioning include the hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, and cerebellum. |
|
| Brain development in the prefrontal cortex. |
|
| Thus, it is the comportmental axis of the prefrontal cortex that is responsible in many ways for our humanity. |
|
| Scientific American's Frontiers TV series, hosted by Alan Alda, recently ran an episode that looked at the functioning of the prefrontal cortex of the brain as it related to learning and behavior modification. |
|
| Both are designed to thrash your prefrontal cortex into submission. |
|
| Previously published stereological studies on the prefrontal cortex in schizophrenics include Thune et al. |
|
|
|
| Altered reward processing in the nucleus accumbens and mesial prefrontal cortex of patients with posttraumatic stress disorder. |
|
| This is especially noticeable in the prefrontal cortex, which is important for advanced cognition, the parietal lobes, which are important for spatial and arithmetic reasoning, and the visual cortex. |
|
| He also explains that the parts of the brain involved in creating dreams and nightmares are the ventromedial forebrain, prefrontal cortex and limbic system. |
|
| Dissociable mechanisms of attentional control within the human prefrontal cortex. |
|
| The prefrontal cortex makes the decision how the individual should act and allocates the cognitive and motoric efforts needed for the specific event. |
|
| Hopefully, my prefrontal cortex is solidified by now. |
|
| Regulation of prefrontal cortex myelination by the microbiota. |
|
| Evidence that the prefrontal cortex is involved in spiritual experiences exists, and I submit that if I was going to pinpoint a brain area of great interest for investigation, support and protection, it would be there. |
|
| It includes the prefrontal cortex, where cognitive control is implemented. |
|
| Analysis of their function is ongoing and will involve moving from the global analysis of the RNA of the prefrontal cortex to that of the proteins at neuron level. |
|
| Methods of investigation include neuropsychological testing of patients with damage to the medial temporal lobes and prefrontal cortex, and structural and functional MRI of patient and healthy populations. |
|
| In the animal studies, increased extracellular levels of dopamine were observed in the prefrontal cortex, along with increased levels of serotonin and norepinephrine. |
|
| Their study confirms that this pathway, the medial prefrontal cortex via a thalamic nucleus to the hippocampus, does. |
|
| Attention-deficit disorder is not a sickness, but a disorder that affects the prefrontal cortex in the brain. |
|
| Walking along the highway did nothing to diminish activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex. |
|
| Usually, the prefrontal cortex and the amygdala operate in tandem, a joint effort that seems to be involved in shutting down negative emotions. |
|
| However, proper function of the prefrontal cortex requires norepinephrine and dopamine level to also be within optimal level. |
|
| The limbic system is further connected to the orbital-frontal area of the cerebral cortex, Wernicke's area, the inferior parietal region, and the lateral prefrontal cortex. |
|
| Likewise, neuroimaging studies show that placebo treatment activates specific brain structures such as the prefrontal cortex and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex. |
|
| These areas, the supplementary motor area, the pre-supplementary area and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, are known to be linked to executive function. |
|
|
|
| However, in contrast to the facilitative actions in subcortical structures, high levels of catecholamine release in prefrontal cortex result in cognitive dysfunction. |
|
| People with more professional training and education have more synapses in the prefrontal cortex of the brain, Illinois and Russian neuroscientists say. |
