The dark history of the lobotomy began in the early 20th century. The earliest version of the procedure involved drilling a ...

Frontal lobotomy (more commonly known in the UK as ‘prefrontal leucotomy’) is an extinct procedure. It was historically performed in cases of intractable psychiatric illness.1 The aim was to interrupt ...

The prefrontal cortex is a cortical area located in the anterior frontal lobe, including several subdivisions (e.g. ventromedial, dorsolateral, orbitofrontal cortices). The prefrontal cortex ...

Researchers have uncovered a brain mechanism in the prefrontal cortex that determines how animals respond to others’ emotions based on their own past experiences. These neurons, producing ...

And through pathways of nerve connection to other areas of the brain, the response weakens activity of the brain’s decision-making center in the prefrontal cortex. Overcoming addiction usually ...

A significant proportion of patients with presenile dementia due to primary cerebral atrophy do not have Alzheimer's disease. One form of non-Alzheimer dementia may be designated as dementia of ...

Message passing between tasks. Specifically, messages can be passed to software tasks at spawn time. A timer queue 2. Software tasks can be delayed or scheduled to continue running at some time in the ...

*ITCM in classical series is renamed as ATCM and DTCM is renamed as BTCM in Cortex -R **Cortex-R has additional 4 word entry return stack. On procedure call, return address is pushed on to hardware ...

This important study includes convincing evidence to show that behavioral measures and hippocampal representations of cognitive control are not dependent upon the medial prefrontal cortex. Whilst ...

This useful study reports how neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex maps time intervals during which animals have to wait until reaching a reward and how this mapping is preserved across days.

These include parts of the prefrontal cortex (important for decision-making and cognitive control), the hippocampus, the anterior cingulate cortex, and others. There is also evidence of a higher ...
