Sentences with phrase «ventrolateral prefrontal cortex»

But an entirely different region, called the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, became active.

We found an interaction between behavioral performance and trial outcome in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), with activity in these regions lower for incorrect trials.

The determination of relevance to self of verbal statements of differing emotional valence involved left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (left inferior frontal gyrus, BA 47), right caudate and right cingulate gyrus (BA 24).

The researchers saw that among the PTSD group, who were all taking the drug paroxetine (sold as Paxil), the patients who showed the most improvement from the SSRI were those who showed the least activation, prior to treatment, of a brain area called the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, also known as the inferior frontal gyrus.

In addition, the brain areas that are known to be active when a person is committing something to memory — including a region in the front of the brain called the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex — were suppressed on those trials in which the participants had to inhibit their responses strongly.

One nuance in the findings was that the brain area that appeared to predict response to SSRIs — the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex — was not the exact area that appeared to be affected by SSRI treatment.

When Lieberman increased the money being offered, he found that accepting a share that was larger but still unfair — say, $ 8 out of $ 23 — was linked not with reward circuitry but with increased activity in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and downregulation of the anterior insula, changes often seen during the regulation of negative feelings.

A network geared for this purpose should, and appears to include known sites for sustained attention and working memory (DLPFC, lateral parietal cortex)(Curtis and D'Esposito, 2003), response selection (dorsomedial frontal / pre-SMA)(Lau et al., 2006), and response suppression (ventrolateral prefrontal cortex)(Ridderinkhof et al., 2004b).

In people from nurturant families, activation of the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex was associated with reduced amygdala activity.

Because a nurturant early environment has been tied to better regulation of stress responses, a viable hypothesis is that a supportive family environment will be tied to greater cortical responses to threat and consequent lesser amygdala reactivity; activity in the amygdala and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (RVLPFC) have been found to be negatively related in response to threat cues (17).

Personal Distress was associated with amygdala and hypothalamus activation, Empathic Concern with the left ventral striatum, ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), and supplemental motor area (SMA) activation, and Fantasy with the septal area, right SMA and VLPFC activation.

These studies show that naming an experience activates the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex while reducing the reaction of the amygdala (the worry wart of the brain).
