Although prefrontal cortex is clearly important in executive function, the specific processes
carried out by particular regions within human prefrontal cortex remain a matter of debate. A …

Executive function encompasses a range of control processes supporting flexible, goal-
directed behaviour. Attentional set-shifting, updating of information in working memory, and …

We investigated working memory in patients with focal brain damage involving subregions
of the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Lesions in the dorsal portion of lateral PFC or the …

Theoretical and empirical research on the cognitive functions of the prefrontal cortex have
established that this region mediates what have been called 'executive'processes that can …

The effects of experimental lesions of the monkey prefrontal cortex have played a
predominant role in current conceptualizations of the functional organization of the lateral …

One of the least well understood regions of the human brain is rostral prefrontal cortex,
approximating Brodmann's area 10. Here, we investigate the possibility that there are …

Although monkey lesion studies involving the prefrontal cortex commonly report working
memory deficits, and neuroimaging studies consistently show prefrontal involvement in such …

Abstract Background The Kana Pick-out Test (KPT), which uses Kana or Japanese symbols
that represent syllables, requires parallel processing of discrete (pick-out) and continuous …

Although neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the involvement of
prefrontal cortex (PFC) in human memory, the necessity of dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) for key …

The inter‐related cognitive constructs of working memory (WM) and processing speed are
fundamental components to general intellectual functioning in humans. Importantly, both …
