An analysis of rat prefrontal cortex in mediating executive function.
TLDR
The data suggest that there is subregional specificity within the PFC of rats, monkey and humans and there are parallel cognitive functions of the different subregions of the P FC in rats, monkeys and humans.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Probing perceptual decisions in rodents.
TL;DR: A brief overview of the sensory capabilities of rodents and of their cortical areas devoted to sensation and decision is given and methods of psychophysics are reviewed, focusing on the technical issues that arise in their implementation in rodents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Placing the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus within the brain circuits that control behavior
TL;DR: The anatomical connections of the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT) are reviewed and the potential contribution of the PVT to circadian rhythms, fear, anxiety, food intake and drug-seeking is focused on.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromodulation of Attention.
TL;DR: Current neuroscientific understanding of how attention affects single neurons and networks of neurons and how neuromodulation shapes these neuron and network properties and thereby enables the appropriate allocation of attention to relevant external or internal events is summarized.

Hippocampal-Prefrontal Interactions in Cognition, Behavior and Psychiatric Disease.
Torfi Sigurdsson,Sevil Duvarci +1 more
TL;DR: The goal of this review is to summarize what is known about the role of hippocampal-prefrontal interactions in normal brain function and compare how these interactions are disrupted in schizophrenia patients and animal models of the disease.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that EWC subjects (namely AN and OB) have similar dysfunctional executive profile that may play a role in the development and maintenance of such disorders.

An integrative theory of prefrontal cortex function
Earl K. Miller,Jonathan D. Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that cognitive control stems from the active maintenance of patterns of activity in the prefrontal cortex that represent goals and the means to achieve them, which provide bias signals to other brain structures whose net effect is to guide the flow of activity along neural pathways that establish the proper mappings between inputs, internal states, and outputs needed to perform a given task.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
Book
The Cognitive Neurosciences
TL;DR: The fourth edition of The Cognitive Neurosciences continues to chart new directions in the study of the biologic underpinnings of complex cognition -the relationship between the structural and physiological mechanisms of the nervous system and the psychological reality of the mind as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specific impairments of planning
TL;DR: An information-processing model is outlined that predicts that performance on non-routine tasks can be impaired independently of performance on routine tasks, related to views on frontal lobe functions, particularly those of Luria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Separate Neural Systems Value Immediate and Delayed Monetary Rewards
TL;DR: The authors examined the neural correlates of time discounting while subjects made a series of choices between monetary reward options that varied by delay to delivery and demonstrated that two separate systems are involved in such decisions.
