Maintenance of non-consciously presented information engages the prefrontal cortex
Conscious processing is generally seen as required for flexible and willful actions, as well as for tasks that require durable information maintenance. Here we present research that questions the assumption that only consciously perceived information is durable (>500 ms). Using the attentional blink (AB) phenomenon, we rendered otherwise relatively clearly perceived letters non-conscious. In a ...
متن کاملProcessing of time within the prefrontal cortex: Recent time engages posterior areas whereas distant time engages anterior areas
Studies of prefrontal cortex (PFC) lesion patients suggest that information conveying high immediacy, certainty, or tangibility engages the more posterior part of the PFC, whereas information that is more abstract or complex engages the anterior part. We examined whether the anterior and posterior subdivisions of the PFC have distinct roles in processing temporal information during decision mak...

متن کاملThe prefrontal cortex: response selection or maintenance within working memory?
It is controversial whether the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is involved in the maintenance of items in working memory or in the selection of responses. We used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to study the performance of a spatial working memory task by humans. We distinguished the maintenance of spatial items from the selection of an item from memory to guide a response. ...
متن کاملP142: 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...
