In a 2010 study, psychiatrist Yvette Sheline and colleagues at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, found that these overactive networks converged on a common point in a region called
the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex.
Not exact matches
The areas in the brain linked to this type of decision making were the
dorsal portion of the
medial prefrontal cortex, which is known to support higher cognitive functions such as planning, and the premotor
cortex, which is more involved in the execution of real or imaginary movements.
Specifically, FC decreases were identified in regions implicated in episodic memory (EM) processing (posteromedial
cortex, ventral
medial prefrontal cortex, and angular gyrus), whereas connectivity increases were detected in
dorsal and anterior
medial prefrontal and lateral temporal
cortices.
