TLDR
It is suggested that the cortex in the principal sulcus may be concerned with a form of spatial memory, whereas the arcuate cortex is concerned with some other, as yet unspecified function.

Chapter 11 Working memory

TL;DR: This chapter demonstrates the functional importance of dopamine to working memory function in several ways and demonstrates that a network of brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, is critical for the active maintenance of internal representations.
Book ChapterDOI

Basal ganglia-thalamocortical circuits: parallel substrates for motor, oculomotor, "prefrontal" and "limbic" functions.

TL;DR: It now appears that at the level of the putamen such inputs remain segregated within the "motor" circuit, and it is difficult to imagine how such functional specificity could be maintained in the absence of strict topographic specificity within the sequential projections that comprise these two circuits.

The prefrontal cortex

TL;DR: The Prefrontal Cortex, Fifth Edition, provides users with a thoroughly updated version of this comprehensive work that has historically served as the classic reference on this part of the brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

A cortical network for directed attention and unilateral neglect.

TL;DR: A network approach to the localization of complex functions offers an alternative to more extreme approaches, some of which stress an exclusive concentration of function within individual centers in the brain and others which advocate a more uniform (equipotential or holistic) distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of prefrontal cortex in working-memory capacity, executive attention, and general fluid intelligence: An individual-differences perspective

TL;DR: Although the dorsolateral PFC is but one critical structure in a network of anterior and posterior “attention control” areas, it does have a unique executiveattention role in actively maintaining access to stimulus representations and goals in interference-rich contexts.

Effects of small frontal lesions on delayed alternation in monkeys.

TL;DR: The purpose of the present experiment is to determine whether restits obtained by Blum (1) implying an even more timited focus-namely, the mid-lateral cortex—cotid be substantiated, and whether such a cortid focus can be preckly located.
Journal ArticleDOI

A re-examination of the effects of frontal lesions on object alternation

TL;DR: The results suggest that the classical delayed alternation deficit produced by an extensive prefrontal removal is compounded of two separate defects: one attributable to dorsolateral damage, and related to the spatial factor in the test; the other due to ventral damage andrelated to the reversal factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evidence for dissociation of impairment on auditory discrimination and delayed response following lateral frontal lesions in monkeys

TL;DR: The results suggest that the delayed-response deficit and the deficit in auditory discrimination that follow large frontal lesions may be dissociated by smaller frontal lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Delayed alternation in monkeys after removal of the hippocampus.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the effects of hippocampectomy on delayed alternation are extremely variable and individual differences appear to be an important factor in determining the severity of the impairment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of subtotal lesions of frontal granular cortex on delayed reaction in monkeys.

TL;DR: Bilateral ablation of the frontal granular cortex in monkeys is followed by inability to perform at better than a chance level on the delayed-response test, even at delays of less than five seconds.

How can I improve my dorsolateral prefrontal cortex?

The findings indicated the existence of two functionally distinct subdivisions of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex: one in the principal sulcus, damage to which was responsible for impaired performance on the spatial task with delay; and the other in the arcuate sulcus, removal of which was responsible for impaired performance on the spatial task without delay.
