The neuropsychology of ventral prefrontal cortex: decision-making and reversal learning.
Converging evidence from human lesion, animal lesion, and human functional neuroimaging studies implicates overlapping neural circuitry in ventral prefrontal cortex in decision-making and reversal learning. The ascending 5-HT and dopamine neurotransmitter systems have a modulatory role in both processes. There is accumulating evidence that measures of decision-making and reversal learning may b...
متن کاملPrefrontal cortex and long-term memory encoding: an integrative review of findings from neuropsychology and neuroimaging.
Recent findings have led to a growing appreciation of the role of the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in episodic long-term memory (LTM). Here, the authors will review results from neuropsychological and neuroimaging studies of humans and present a framework to explain how different regions of the PFC contribute to successful LTM formation. Central to this framework is the idea that different r...
متن کاملPrefrontal Cortex and Episodic Memory: Integrating Findings from Neuropsychology and Functional Brain Imaging
INTRODUCTION Although it has been speculated for many years that the prefrontal cortex plays a role in long-term memory for events, or episodic memory, only recently have researchers made a concerted attempt to define this role. Most theories of prefrontal function suggest that this region implements " top-down " or " executive " processes that influence a variety of domains, including memory. ...

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...
