Patterning of frontal cortex subdivisions by Fgf17.
The frontal cortex (FC) is the seat of higher cognition. The genetic mechanisms that control formation of the functionally distinct subdivisions of the FC are unknown. Using a set of gene expression markers that distinguish subdivisions of the newborn mouse FC, we show that loss of Fgf17 selectively reduces the size of the dorsal FC whereas ventral/orbital FC appears normal. These changes are c...

متن کاملIn search of the functional neuroanatomy of sociality: MRI subdivisions of orbital frontal cortex and social cognition.
We examined social cognition in a sample of healthy participants who had prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) gray matter volume studies of the orbital frontal cortex (OFC) that was parcellated into three regions: gyrus rectus, middle orbital gyrus and lateral orbital gyrus. These subjects also completed a self-report measure of Machiavelli personality traits, along with psychometric tests of...
متن کاملUncontrolled stress produces severe defect in development of frontal cortex in the rat
One of the most important factors in drug addiction is stress. It has been shown that animals with prenatal stress history are more risky for drug dependence. It have also been shown that frontal cortex play a role in drug dependence. In the present study the effects of two kinds of mild stress during pregnancy on the development of frontal cortex in Wistar rats (250-300 g) were investigated. F...
متن کاملRole of frontal cortex in attentional capture by singleton distractors.
The role of frontal cortex in selective attention to visual distractors was examined in an attentional capture task in which participants searched for a unique shape in the presence or absence of an additional colour singleton distractor. The presence of the additional singleton was associated with slower behavioural responses to the shape target, and a greater neural signal in inferior frontal...
