Biology, structure and evolution of the PFC The PFC can be divided into ventromedial and dorsolateral regions, each of which is associated with posterior and subcortical brain regions (Fig.

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) provides 'top-down', higher-order guidance of thought, attention, behaviour and emotion, with dorsolateral regions regulating cognition, and ventromedial regions ...

Importantly, they revealed that 15 weeks of medication-assisted therapy, which included supplemental group therapy, improves impaired function of the anterior and dorsolateral PFC during an ...

Both PFC activity -- specifically in the right dorsolateral PFC -- and eye blinks were significantly elevated when babies were asked to switch from one "language" to another, which is the most ...

The PFC is divided into three subsections: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC). Overall, these subregions are involved in ...

including 79% more in dorsolateral PFC and 29% more in the mesial PFC. "Every 1 of the 7 autistic children had an excess number of neurons, compared to control average," Dr. Courchesne said.

And during the Stroop test in particular, they used near-infrared spectroscopy to monitor cortical activation in the left dorsolateral PFC (l-DLPFC). In other words, they used a brain scan to see ...
