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. This result ...
Caption (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 ...
Neuroscientists analyzed how the prefrontal cortex filters through conflicting stimuli to determine when, say, it’s safe to ...
Concomitantly, functional magnetic resonance imaging showed decreased activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex in the cognitively fatigued participants. Ordali and her colleagues wondered, “What ...
Figure 6: Activation foci in the basal ganglia, insula/frontal operculum and dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex resulting from greater activation for the time (T) relative to the pitch (P ...
Self-control is primarily rooted in the prefrontal cortex—the planning, problem-solving, and decision making center of the brain—which is significantly larger in humans than in other mammals.
