Inverted-U-shaped dopamine actions on human working memory and cognitive control.
Brain dopamine (DA) has long been implicated in cognitive control processes, including working memory. However, the precise role of DA in cognition is not well-understood, partly because there is large variability in the response to dopaminergic drugs both across different behaviors and across different individuals. We review evidence from a series of studies with experimental animals, healthy ...
متن کاملCognitive Inhibition and Working Memory in Obese and Normal Women
Background: The increasing incidence of overweight or obesity is a significant health problem. Hence, this study aims to investigate attention inhibition and memory function in obese and normal women. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted from 2017 to 2018 in Ahvaz. A sample of 200 women referred to sports clubs was selected by the convenience sampling method. The tools ...
متن کاملStriatal dopamine and working memory.
Recent studies have emphasized the importance of dopamine projections to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) for working memory (WM) function, although this system has rarely been studied in humans in vivo. However, dopamine and PFC activity can be directly measured with positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), respectively. In this study, we examined WM capa...
متن کاملCognitive control in context: working memory capacity and proactive control.
Working memory is important for maintaining critical information in an active state to guide future behavior. The executive-attention theory of working memory capacity (WMC; Engle & Kane, 2004) argues that goal maintenance is important for response selection when stimuli are associated with competing responses. Braver, Burgess, and Gray (2007) have labeled this type of preparatory activity proa...
متن کاملOn the Control of Control: The Role of Dopamine in Regulating Prefrontal Function and Working Memory
An Important aspect of cognitive control is the ability to appropriately select, update, and maintain contextual information related to behavioral goals, and to me this information to coordinate processing over extended periods. In our novel, neurobiologicaUy based, connectionist computational model, the selection, updating, and maintenance of context occur through Interactions between the pref...
