In an intriguing neuroimaging study of musical improvisation in classically trained pianists, Bengtsson et al. [13] found activations in
the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, as well as premotor and auditory areas during improvisation.
But this time, the researchers applied transcranial direct current stimulation over a region in
the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to make the brain cells more sensitive.
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that making the brain cells in
the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) more active can positively affect the deliberation process between honesty and self - interest.
One explanation Trumbo offered is that
the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is particularly involved in strategy use during tasks.
Both PFC activity — specifically in
the right dorsolateral PFC — and eye blinks were significantly elevated when babies were asked to switch from one «language» to another, which is the most cognitively demanding moment for the PFC during the task.
