Prefrontal cortex (PFC) is thought to provide the physiological ... In contrast, it has been proposed that ventrolateral PFC (vPF) is specialized for non-spatial processing, as it shows object ...

A team of researchers are finding answers in levels of gray matter density in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain involved in the regulation of emotions, including fear and ...

Until this work, the idea that spatial processing or movement planning took place in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex has been a highly contested one. "Just the fact that these spatial signals ...

Such a task is often used to measure brain activation during response inhibition—the foundation of executive control—and since increased activation of the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex ...

A new study found that blue wavelength light exposure led to subsequent increases in brain activity in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC ...

and right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) activation during eating-response inhibition. Similarly, in the entire sample, lower eating-task activation in right vlPFC was related to more ...

Researchers have discovered that a part of the brain associated with working memory and multisensory integration may also play an important role in how the brain processes social cues. Previous ...

During the task, the researchers found reduced connectivity between the amygdala and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex — a pathway critical to the regulation of emotion — in the brains of children who ...

Based on the results, it appears that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) is involved in the processing and then couples with the hippocampus to switch on one-shot learning, as needed.

Such a task is often used to measure brain activation during response inhibition—the foundation of executive control—and since increased activation of the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex ...
