P142: The Prefrontal Cortex and Stress-Related Psychopathologies
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) plays a central role in processing both normal and pathological affective states and it is among the brain regions most closely associated with stress-related psychopathology in humans. The ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) in particular has been shown to be required for healthy emotional regulation, social function and risk assessment and decision-making. Also this region ex...
متن کاملThe functional architecture of the prefrontal cortex and schizophrenia.
Findings from a number of studies have implicated the prefrontal cortex (PFC), especially the dorsolateral region, as a site of dysfunction in schizophrenia (Goldberg et al. 1989). For example, in contrast to controls, schizophrenics fail to activate the dorsolateral PFC while engaged in the Wisconsin Card Sort Task (Weinberger et al. 1986), and they exhibit an inability to learn how to perform...

آموزش زبان دوم طی سالهای اخیر بدنبال روشهای بهتری برای تحقق بخشیدن به اهداف معلمین و دانش آموزان بوده است . در مورد معلمین این امر منجر به تحقیقاتی در مورد ساختار زبانی، محاوره ای و تعاملی گردیده است . در مورد دانش آموزان این امر به مطالعاتی درباره نگرش دانش آموزان نسبت به فراگیری در داخل کلاس و بیرون از آن و همچنین انواع مختلف روشهای پردازش ذهنی منجر شده است . هدف از این تحقیق یافتن روشهائی اس...
15 صفحه اولReduced Capillary Density in the Prefrontal Cortex in Schizophrenia
Neuroimaging studies have shown that the core symptoms of schizophrenia are associated with local changes of cerebral blood flow, particularly in the frontal cortex. Previously we reported ultrastructural damage of capillaries in the upper layers of the prefrontal cortex, Brodmann’s area (BA) 10 and in the visual cortex, BA 17 in schizophrenia. An electron microscopic morphometric study was per...
متن کاملEvidence for inhibitory deficits in the prefrontal cortex in schizophrenia.
Abnormal gamma-aminobutyric acid inhibitory neurotransmission is a key pathophysiological mechanism underlying schizophrenia. Transcranial magnetic stimulation can be combined with electroencephalography to index long-interval cortical inhibition, a measure of GABAergic receptor-mediated inhibitory neurotransmission from the frontal and motor cortex. In previous studies we have reported that sc...
