Using transcranial magnetic stimulation, the authors report that the left lateral prefrontal cortex is critical for choosing between immediate and delayed rewards. As the LPFC has previously been ...

One surprising finding was that individuals with lesions in the lateral prefrontal cortex, a region often associated with self-control, performed just as well as healthy controls.

A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience offers insight into how small grooves in the brain’s surface — known as tertiary sulci — might help explain individual differences in reasoning ...

More recent research has pinpointed the brain's lateral prefrontal cortex, a region just behind the temple, as a critical hub for high-level mental processing, with activity levels there ...

In this new effort, the researchers focused their attention on the right dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex—a part of the brain believed to be involved in both the placebo and nocebo effects.

(A) This is an axial T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image showing an acute stroke in the left lateral prefrontal cortex. (B) This is a coronal neuropathological specimen of an infarct in the ...

Two frontal lobe brain regions, the medial frontal cortex (MFC) and the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC), are believed to control most of our executive functions.Robert M. G. Reinhart ...

In a 2021 paper, the two collaborated to define all the smaller sulci in the lateral prefrontal cortex and created a computer model that identified the tertiary sulci as contributing the most ...

ⓘ IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites. In that research, the dorsal-lateral prefrontal cortex’s timeline of development was observed to vary greatly between ...
