Abstract:
Objective: To explore the relationship between regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cognitive function in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Method: Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) was performed for 139 OCD patients and 139 controls, and the radioactivity rate (RAR) was calculated. Cognitive function was assessed by the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). Results: The RARs of the prefrontal, anterior temporal, and right occipital lobes were higher in patients than controls. For the WCST, correct and classification numbers were significantly lower, and errors and persiste

Abstract:
Background and objective: With the rising prevalence of dementia in aging societies, there is an urgent need for effective, non-invasive interventions to support cognitive function and emotional stability. Gardening, a nature-based activity, has demonstrated potential to enhance mental and physical well-being, yet its direct impact on prefrontal cortex function remains largely unclear. This study investigates the effects of outdoor gardening activities (OGA) on prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation in elderly individuals with dementia and cognitive impairments, comparing these effects to those of

Psychological Bulletin, 95, 3–28, 1984] on which functions of the frontal lobe could be mapped. Here, we discuss classic and recent findings regarding the evolution, development, function, and cognitive role of shallow indentations or tertiary sulci in PFC, with the goal of using tertiary sulci to map the “cognitive globe” of PFC. First, we discuss lateral PFC (LPFC) tertiary sulci in classical anatomy and modern neuroimaging, as well as their devel

Abstract:
Primates are unique among mammals in possessing a region of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex with a well-developed internal granular layer. This region is commonly implicated in higher cognitive functions. Despite the histological distinctiveness of primate dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the work of Rose, Woolsey, and Akert produced a broad consensus among neuroscientists that homologues of primate granular frontal cortex exist in nonprimates and can be recognized by their dense innervation from the mediodorsal thalamic nucleus (MD).

Abstract:
Symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder include hyperarousal, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, re-experiencing of trauma, and mood changes. This review focuses on the frontal cortical areas that form crucial links in circuitry pertinent to posttraumatic stress disorder symptomatology: (1) the conditioned fear extinction circuit, (2) the salience circuit, and (3) the mood circuit. These frontal areas include the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (conditioned fear extinction), the dorsal anterior cingulate and insular cortices (salience), and the lateral orbitofrontal and subgenual cingulate

This review describes a research program aimed at evaluating the validity and specificity of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), one of the most widely used tests of prefrontal function in clinical and experimental neuropsychology. In spite of its extensive use, voices of caution have arisen against the use of WCST scores as direct markers of prefrontal damage or dysfunction. Adopting a cognitive neuroscience approach, the present research program integrates behavioral, physiological, and anatomical information to investigate the cognitive and neural mechanisms behind WCST performance.

Abstract:
That the human frontal lobes are particularly vulnerable to age-related deterioration has been frequently invoked as an explanation of functional decline in aging. This “frontal aging hypothesis” is evaluated in this review by examining evidence of selectively reduced frontal lobe function in aging. The frontal aging hypothesis predicts that functions largely dependent on frontal regions would decline in aging, while functions largely independent of frontal lobes would remain relatively spared. The hypothesis further predicts that age-related brain change would selectively impact frontal regio

This thesis addresses the important role of prefrontal-hippocampal circuits in the generation of false memories. First analyses the influence of prefrontal and hippocampus in the generation of false memories by separately analysing the semantic processing in the prefrontal lobe and the effect of high cognitive load on memory. As well as the impact of the memory extraction process and memory integration on memory in hippocampal function. Finally, the integrated effects of prefrontal-hippocampal circuits on false memories are discussed as a whole. This section includes questions about the intera

Abstract:
Executive functioning is a multidimensional concept encompassing higher-order adaptive abilities, such as judgment, decision-making, self-monitoring, planning, and emotional regulation. Disruption in executive functioning often results in devastating impairments in vitally-important areas of life, such as one's ability to hold employment and maintain social relationships. Executive functions have been associated primarily with the prefrontal cortex. However, the nature and degree of the association between frontal lobe damage and performance on executive functioning tests remains controversial

Abstract:
Abstract The notion that schizophrenia involves dysfunction of the frontal lobes dates back at least to Emil Kraepelin. In his view, the primary behavioral deficit in this disorder was a “destruction of the mainsprings of volition” secondary to anatomic pathology of the frontal cortex (Kraepelin, 1907). While consistent evidence of neuropathologic changes in the frontal lobe has not as yet emerged from research in schizophrenia, Kraepelin’s emphasis on symptoms suggestive of frontal dysfunction has been echoed throughout this century in phenomeno logic studies of this illness.

Abstract Recent advances in anatomical, behavioral, and physiological techniques have produced new infornation about the nature of prefrontal function, its cellular basis, and its anatomical underpinnings. A major advance in our understanding of prefrontal function is the recognition that prefrontal subdivisions such as the principal sulcus (Walker’s area 46) are embedded in a complex but delimited network involving a large number of other cortical areas and subcortical structures (Fig. 4-1) (Goldman-Rakic, 1988; Selemon and Goldman-Rakic, 1988).

The greater part of the prefrontal region has a characteristic cellular structure, frontal granular cortex, and within the region a number of areas are differentiated from each other on architectonic grounds.
