Monoaminergic-Dependent Cognitive Functions of the Prefrontal Cortex in Monkey and Man

TL;DR: A group of patients with neurosurgical lesions of the prefrontal cortex are confirmed to have deficits in planning ability, using a modified form of the Tower of London test, and the results are discussed in terms of the monoamine-dependent modulation of attentional set-shifting effected by mechanisms hierarchically controlled by the cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI

Locus coeruleus pathology in progressive supranuclear palsy, and its relation to disease severity.

TL;DR: The loss of pigmented neurons correlated with disease severity, even after adjusting for disease duration and the interval between clinical assessment and death, and the degree of neuronal loss was negatively associated with tau-positive inclusions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling human drug abuse and addiction with dedicated small animal positron emission tomography

TL;DR: This article highlights recent examples of successful cross-species convergence of findings from PET studies in the context of drug addiction and ADHD and identifies how small animal PET can be used to model complex psychiatric disorders involving at their core impaired behavioural self-control.
Journal ArticleDOI

Boosting Working Memory

TL;DR: New findings with fMRI that reveal how working memory is enhanced by the drug physostigmine, which increases cholinergic function in the brain are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substance Use Initiation, Particularly Alcohol, in Drug-Naive Adolescents: Possible Predictors and Consequences From a Large Cohort Naturalistic Study.

Iliyan Ivanov, +130 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that transition from no use to frequent drinking in early to mid-adolescence may disrupt normative developmental changes in behavioral control and blunted activity of the mOFC during reward outcome may underscore a predisposition to the development of more severe alcohol use in adolescents.
