Amodal processing in human prefrontal cortex.
Information enters the cortex via modality-specific sensory regions, whereas actions are produced by modality-specific motor regions. Intervening central stages of information processing map sensation to behavior. Humans perform this central processing in a flexible, abstract manner such that sensory information in any modality can lead to response via any motor system. Cognitive theories accou...
متن کاملSomatosensory processing in the human inferior prefrontal cortex.
Three inferior prefrontal regions in the monkey receive afferents from somatosensory cortices: the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the ventral area of the principal sulcus, and the anterior frontal operculum. To determine whether these areas show responses to tactile stimuli in humans, we examined data from an ongoing series of PET studies of somatosensory processing. Unlike previous work showing v...
متن کاملRelational Processing and the Prefrontal Cortex 1 Prefrontal Cortex Involvement in Relational Processing during Reasoning
Previous patient and neuroimaging studies have provided considerable evidence that complex reasoning tasks are associated with the prefrontal cortex (PFC). In this study, we tested the hypothesis that the process of relational integration, or considering multiple relations simultaneously, is a component process of complex reasoning that recruits PFC. We used fMRI to examine brain activation dur...
متن کاملGuilt-specific processing in the prefrontal cortex.
Guilt is a central moral emotion due to its inherent link to norm violations, thereby affecting both individuals and society. Furthermore, the nature and specificity of guilt is still debated in psychology and philosophy, particularly with regard to the differential involvement of self-referential representations in guilt relative to shame. Here, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMR...
متن کاملLinguistic Sequence Processing and the Prefrontal Cortex
Since language necessarily unfolds over time, language comprehension involves the processing of a sequentially ordered input. In this paper, we review neuroimaging findings on syntactic processing and word order variations in order to shed light on the neural bases of linguistic sequencing, focusing particularly on the role of prefrontal cortex (including Broca's region). On the basis of the fu...
