The largest part of the primate prefrontal cortex has no homolog in other mammals.
Accordingly, it probably confers some advantage that other mammals either lack or attain …

The lateral prefrontal cortex is critically involved in broad aspects of executive behavioral
control. Early studies emphasized its role in the short-term retention of information retrieved …

The prefrontal cortex makes up almost a quarter of the human brain, and it expanded
dramatically during primate evolution. The Neurobiology of the Prefrontal Cortex presents a …

To navigate our complex world, our brains have evolved a sophisticated ability to quickly
learn arbitrary rules such as 'stop at red'. Studies in monkeys using a laboratory test of this …

The brain activity during cooperation as a form of social process is studied. We investigate
the relationship between coinstantaneous brain-activation signals of multiple participants …

BACKGROUND: Recent evidence has shown that individuals with acute anorexia nervosa
and those recovered have aberrant physiological responses to rewarding stimuli. We …

Considerable neuroimaging research in humans indicates that the frontal pole cortex (FPC),
also known as Brodmann area 10, contributes to many aspects of cognition. Despite these …

A great deal of research on the prefrontal cortex (PF), especially in nonhuman primates, has
focused on the theory that it functions predominantly in the maintenance of short-term …

Background Recent studies of functional or effective connectivity in the brain have reported
that motor-related brain regions were activated during motor execution and motor imagery …

To achieve a behavioral goal in a complex environment, we must plan multiple steps of
motor behavior. On planning a series of actions, we anticipate future events that will occur as …
