Journal ArticleDOI
Decision-making in the adolescent brain
TL;DR: Evidence points to a dissociation between the relatively slow, linear development of impulse control and response inhibition during adolescence versus the nonlinear development of the reward system, which is often hyper-responsive to rewards in adolescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visuo-spatial short-term recognition memory and learning after temporal lobe excisions, frontal lobe excisions or amygdalo-hippocampectomy in man.
TL;DR: It is suggested that visual recognition memory is mediated by a neural system which includes, as major components, the inferotemporal cortex, the medial temporal lobe structures and particular sectors of the frontal lobe, and are compared to previous findings from patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease and dementia of the Alzheimer type.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociable Forms of Inhibitory Control within Prefrontal Cortex with an Analog of the Wisconsin Card Sort Test: Restriction to Novel Situations and Independence from “On-Line” Processing
TL;DR: It is shown that mechanisms of inhibitory control and “on-line” processing are independent within the prefrontal cortex, and impairments in inhibitoryControl induced by prefrontal damage are restricted to novel situations, and those prefrontal areas involved in the suppression of previously established response sets are not involved in their acquisition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impaired extra-dimensional shift performance in medicated and unmedicated Parkinson's disease: Evidence for a specific attentional dysfunction
J J Downes,Angela C. Roberts,Barbara J. Sahakian,J. L. Evenden,Robin G. Morris,Trevor W. Robbins +5 more
TL;DR: The results of the first experiment showed a selective deficit in both groups of Parkinsonian subjects in their ability to perform an extra-dimensional shift and in the visual search task, the patients were less accurate, but responded with equivalent choice reaction times to those of controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complementary roles for the amygdala and hippocampus in aversive conditioning to explicit and contextual cues
TL;DR: A double dissociation of the effects of amygdala and hippocampal damage on fear conditioning to explicit and contextual cues is suggested.
