Although neuroimaging studies confirm the frontal lobe's involvement in language processes and auditory working memory1,2, the cellular and network basis of these functions is unclear.

The left prefrontal cortex in particular has been associated with the semantic working memory, linked to our understanding of language. It is essential for most tasks, but it's argued it can also ...

Brain imaging studies have also shown that BSD is associated with elevated reward expectancy activation in the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, a key reward- and salience-processing hub.

Brain imaging studies have also shown that BSD is associated with elevated reward expectancy activation in the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, a key reward- and salience-processing hub.

"We know that making decisions, in this case choosing our words, taps into this left-front region of the brain, called the left ventrolateral prefrontal cortex," Munakata said.

The study suggests that targeted brain stimulation could help bridge this gap. Academic learning has profound implications ...

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 ...

How do people with psychopathic traits control their 'dark impulses?' A team of researchers are finding answers in levels of gray matter density in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex, a region of ...

Involving 36 volunteers, the study found that stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was more effective than the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) in reducing symptoms of ...
