Emotion, cognition, and mental state representation in amygdala and prefrontal cortex.
Neuroscientists have often described cognition and emotion as separable processes implemented by different regions of the brain, such as the amygdala for emotion and the prefrontal cortex for cognition. In this framework, functional interactions between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex mediate emotional influences on cognitive processes such as decision-making, as well as the cognitive regula...
متن کاملIntegration of emotion and cognition in the lateral prefrontal cortex.
We used functional MRI to test the hypothesis that emotional states can selectively influence cognition-related neural activity in lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC), as evidence for an integration of emotion and cognition. Participants (n = 14) watched short videos intended to induce emotional states (pleasant/approach related, unpleasant/withdrawal related, or neutral). After each video, the par...
متن کاملPrefrontal Cortex and Social Cognition
Why study social cognition to better understand basic brain function? • In social species like us, social processing should be highly prioritized by the brain • Social stimuli may 'optimally' drive certain circuits • Social deficits in psychiatric disorders are very common yet there is no good understanding of underlying mechanisms • At the core of understanding " being human " What is social c...
متن کاملRepresentation of economic preferences in the structure and function of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex
Social value orientations (SVOs) are economic preferences for the distribution of resources - prosocial individuals are more cooperative and egalitarian than are proselfs. Despite the social and economic implications of SVOs, no systematic studies have examined their neural correlates. We investigated the amygdala and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) structures and functions in prosocials...
متن کاملThe contribution of the amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and prefrontal cortex to emotion and motivated behaviour
Emotion and motivation depend on the assessment of the value of environmental stimuli. Multiple representations of stimulus value are created in the brain by Pavlovian and instrumental conditioning procedures. The basolateral amygdala (BLA) appears necessary for a Pavlovian conditioned stimulus (CS) to gain access to the current value of the specific unconditioned stimulus (US) that it predicts...
