Meanwhile, a neighboring area called the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (“forward and left”) may be “increasingly relevant to our understanding of impulsivity, particularly in people with ...

"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.

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.

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

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 ...

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 ...
