Functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and striatum (STR) is thought
critical for cognition and has been linked to conditions like autism and schizophrenia. We …

Findings from a number of studies have implicated the prefrontal cortex (PFC), especially the
dorsolateral region, as a site of dysfunction in schizophrenia (Goldberg et al. 1989). For …

Patient lesion and neuroimaging studies have identified a rostral-to-caudal functional
gradient in the lateral frontal cortex (LFC) corresponding to higher-order (complex or …

The association cortex supports cognitive functions enabling flexible behavior. Here, we
explored the organization of human association cortex by mathematically formalizing the …

Items are categorized differently depending on the behavioral context. For instance, a lion
can be categorized as an African animal or a type of cat. We recorded lateral prefrontal …

The striatum and cerebral cortex are interconnected via multiple recurrent loops that play a
major role in many neuropsychiatric conditions. Primate corticostriatal connections can be …

Categorization has been associated with distributed networks of the primate brain, including
the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC). Although category-selective …

Abnormalities in frontostriatal circuitry potentially underlie the two core deficits in Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD); social interaction and communication difficulties and restricted …

Complex social behavior and the relatively large size of the prefrontal cortex are arguably
two of the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. Grafman presented a …

Background Executive cognitive functions, including working memory, cognitive flexibility,
and inhibition, are impaired in schizophrenia. Executive functions rely on coordinated …
