Preparatory attention relies on dynamic interactions between prelimbic cortex and anterior cingulate cortex.
An emerging view of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that multiple PFC areas process information in parallel, rather than as distinct modules. Two key functions assigned to the PFC are the regulation of top-down attention and stimulus-guided action. Electrophysiology and lesion studies indicate the involvement of both the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and prelimbic cortex (PL) in these fun...
متن کاملAttention for learning signals in anterior cingulate cortex.
Learning theory suggests that animals attend to pertinent environmental cues when reward contingencies unexpectedly change so that learning can occur. We have previously shown that activity in basolateral nucleus of amygdala (ABL) responds to unexpected changes in reward value, consistent with unsigned prediction error signals theorized by Pearce and Hall. However, changes in activity were pres...
متن کاملHuman anterior cingulate cortex neurons modulated by attention-demanding tasks.
Recent imaging studies have implicated the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in various cognitive functions, including attention. However, until now, there was no evidence for changes in neuronal activity of individual ACC neurons during performance of tasks that require attention and effortful thought. We hypothesized these neurons must exist in the human ACC. In this study, we present electroph...
متن کاملCooperation of the anterior cingulate cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for attention shifting.
Attention shifting in the working memory system plays an important role in goal-oriented behavior, such as reading, reasoning, and driving, because it involves several cognitive processes. This study identified brain activity leading to individual differences in attention shifting for dual-task performance by using the group comparison approach. A large-scale pilot study was initially conducted...
متن کاملDynamic activation of the anterior cingulate cortex during anticipatory anxiety
Based on theoretical models, we investigated the dynamics of brain activation during anticipatory anxiety using functional magnetic resonance imaging and a combined parametric/correlational design. Subjects (16 females) anticipated the application of electrical shocks of varying intensity resulting in four different threat levels. The parametric analysis revealed an inverted U-function of activ...
