Insensitivity to future consequences following damage to human prefrontal cortex
TL;DR: Using a novel task which simulates real-life decision-making in the way it factors uncertainty of premises and outcomes, as well as reward and punishment, it is found that prefrontal patients are oblivious to the future consequences of their actions, and seem to be guided by immediate prospects only.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impairment of social and moral behavior related to early damage in human prefrontal cortex.
TL;DR: Early-onset prefrontal damage resulted in a syndrome resembling psychopathy, suggesting that the acquisition of complex social conventions and moral rules had been impaired.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decision-making deficits, linked to a dysfunctional ventromedial prefrontal cortex, revealed in alcohol and stimulant abusers.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that impairment in decision-making linked to a dysfunctional VM cortex is associated with at least a sub-group of substance dependent individuals (SD) is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociation Of Working Memory from Decision Making within the Human Prefrontal Cortex
TL;DR: A cognitive and anatomic double dissociation between deficits in decision making (anterior VM) and working memory (right DL/M) is revealed, the first direct evidence of such effects in humans using the lesion method and underscores the special importance of the VM prefrontal region in decisionMaking, independent of a direct role in working memory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Performance as a Measure of Frontal Lobe Damage
TL;DR: Analysis of WCST performances associated with damage to various subregions of the frontal lobes also failed to reveal any reliable relationships, indicating that performance on the WCST cannot be interpreted in isolation as an index of frontal lobe damage.
