Neurocognitive models of schizophrenia: The prefrontal cortex role Modelos neurocognitivos en la esquizofrenia: Rol del córtex prefrontal
(2006)
Introduction: Neurocognitive models gave place to an important improvement in our understanding of several mental disorders such as schizophrenia. In this context, Prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction is an essential variable ...
Prefrontal cortex excitability in early postnatally malnourished rats
(Informa Healthcare, 1986)
The effect of early postnatal malnutrition on the responsiveness of the rat prefrontal cortex was studied by determining excitability thresholds and fatigability to direct cortical stimulation. Malnutrition imposed during ...
Córtex prefrontal y trastornos del comportamiento: Modelos explicativos y métodos de evaluación
(2005)
Dysfunction of prefrontal cortex explains the symptoms of many neurological and psychiatric disorders, such as the consequences of cerebral trauma and schizophrenia. Although the importance of frontal lobe functions in ...
Play, but not observing play, engages rat medial prefrontal cortex
(Wiley, 2020)
Rats have elaborate cognitive capacities for playing Hide & Seek. Playing Hide & Seek strongly engages medial prefrontal cortex and the activity of prefrontal cortex neurons reflects the structure of the game. We wondered ...
Temporal summation in rat prefrontal pyramidal cells. Differential effects of pre- and postsynaptic neurochemical manipulations
(Elsevier, 1983)
The influence of both reserpine-induced depletion of catecolamines and chlorpromazine-induced blockade of dopamine receptors on integrative properties of rats prefrontal pyramidal cells was studied by evocating threshold ...
Asymmetry of interhemispheric responses evoked in the prefrontal cortex of the rat
(1990)
Interhemispheric responses of anesthetized rats were evoked in the prefrontal cortex of both cerebral hemispheres by electric stimulation of the homologous contralateral cortical region. Fatigability of interhemispheric ...
Dorsal prefrontal and premotor cortex of the ferret as defned by distinctive patterns of thalamo‑cortical projections
(Springer, 2020)
Recent studies of the neurobiology of the dorsal frontal cortex (FC) of the ferret have illuminated its key role in the attention network, top-down cognitive control of sensory processing, and goal directed behavior. To ...
Causal role of prefrontal cortex in the threshold for access to consciousness
(2007)
What neural mechanisms support our conscious perception of briefly presented stimuli? Some
theories of conscious access postulate a key role of top-down amplification loops involving
prefrontal cortex (PFC). To test this ...
The evolutionary origin of the language areas in the human brain. A neuroanatomical perspective
(1997)
The capacity to learn syntactic rules is a hallmark of the human species, but whether this has been acquired by the process of natural selection has been the subject of controversy. Furthermore, the cortical localization ...
Malnutrition-induced changes of responses evoked in the rat prefrontal cortex as revealed by sensitivity to strychnine
(1985)
Susceptibility to strychnine of somatosensory responses evoked in the prefrontal cortex was studied in normal and protein-malnourished rats in three groups. (a) The normal group was from mothers fed a 21% casein diet. (b) ...
