Sentences with phrase «prefrontal lobe»

He predicts that prefrontal lobe activity will turn out to be a key part of that brain circuitry.

In the current study, subjects who had the most negative emotional responses, as determined by high activity in the right prefrontal lobe, had fewer antibodies — a sign of a weakened immune response, the team reports online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

«Here we have eight different experiments, some where the patients have to talk and others where they have to push a button, where some are visual and others auditory, and all found a universal signature of activity centered in the prefrontal lobe that links perception and action.

Although fairly common, damage to the prefrontal lobes (also called the prefrontal cortex) is often overlooked and undiagnosed because patients do not manifest obvious deficits.

«How studying damage to prefrontal lobe has helped unlock the brain's mysteries.»

Our prefrontal lobes can probe the future only when they aren't leashed by dogma.

The researchers observed the fingerprint patterns across large regions of the brain, especially in the prefrontal lobe and parietal lobe.

During the scenes, there's fingerprint - like activity in the prefrontal lobe and parietal lobe, both believed to be connected to memory retrieval and reinterpretation of previously seen events.

The most significant changes were found in the temporal and prefrontal lobes, which control the physical activities, attention, and motor control.

Overall, prefrontal lobe reactions in dogs are very similar to activity found in human prefrontal lobes.

Is a smaller brain stem required or do we need larger frontal or prefrontal lobes?

This suggests that when we engage in goal - directed behavior that requires judgment, sustained attention and flexibility, the two sides of the prefrontal lobe coordinate incoming information, send out commands and keep us on task, said the study's lead author, Michael W. Cole of Washington University's cognitive neuroscience department.

The resulting picture of intelligence is a remarkably simple one: from a single hub in the prefrontal lobes radiates a plethora of brightly lit connections to all corners of the brain.
