"Our previous neuroimaging studies showed the left rostrolateral prefrontal cortex is highly engaged during memory retrieval," Rissman said.
During the study, researchers noted that at one month and three months, the signal from the ventral prefrontal cortex went down, and it declined the most in people who were more successful at losing weight.
This result was consistent with previous findings of depleted cognitive resources in ALL survivors due to brain abnormalities such as reduced brain volumes in prefrontal cortex and cerebellum.1,2 These brain areas are involved in higher order cognitions such as cognitive flexibility.
The researchers found that even within his sample of healthy young adults, people with less hippocampal GABA (less effective 'foot-soldiers') were less able to suppress hippocampal activity by the prefrontal cortex -- and as a result much worse at inhibiting unwanted thoughts.
[19] The neurons of the cingulate gyrus were closely related to the prefrontal cortex. The pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus were densely distributed with the anterior synapses of GABA neurons.
The medial prefrontal cortex of the 78 mg/kg Allium sativum group showed hypertrophy and hyperplasia of cells especially in the cortical plate.
The prefrontal cortex (PFC), as a significant nerve center of thinking and behavior regulation in the brain, is also associated with depression [47].
Walking along the highway did nothing to diminish activity in the subgenual prefrontal cortex.
The precise mechanism by which ketamine, an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, improves treatment-resistant depression has not been identified, though the prefrontal cortex is thought to play a role in modulating depression.
The linking process seems to be governed by a specific region of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex, according to a recent study, and the involvement of this brain region is associated with better recall.
