Most important, though, they also found an impairment in mPFC activity during learning when participants were placed under stress. Ultimately, this failed functional connectivity in the brains of ...

Other brain areas involved in fear, stress, and anxiety The medial prefrontal cortex Source: Tumisu/Pixabay The medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) is a part of the prefrontal cortex involved in ...

"We are currently working on a new study investigating how early life stress impacts the development of the mPFC-BLA pathway ...

Chronic stress depletes synapses in certain brain regions, notably the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), an area implicated in multiple aspects of depression. Mice subjected to stress display ...

In a new study published in PLOS Biology, a research team found that damage to distinct parts of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) were linked to being influenced by impulsive decision making by ...

The medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) is a brain region involved in decision-making and behavioral flexibility, and it has been identified as a potential mediator of behavioral inhibition.

As hypothesized, experiments indicated that the mPFC is the basis of emotional inference. Before undergoing aversive conditioning, neurons in the mPFC responded similarly to both the image and the ...

These therapeutic effects are thought to involve modulation of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), a brain region implicated in depression pathology. This study presents preliminary ...
