Medial frontal cortex function: an introduction and overview.
The growing attention being given to medial frontal cortex (MFC) in cognitive neuroscience studies has fostered a number of theoretical and paradigmatic perspectives that diverge in important ways. This has led to a great deal of research fractionation, with investigators studying domains and issues in MFC function that sometimes bear (at least at the surface) little relation to the questions a...
متن کاملMedial frontal cortex function: An introduction and overview
The quotation above is attributed to an ancient Chinese proverb that can either be used as a curse or a blessing.1 Indeed, both senses seem to apply well to the explosion of research conducted on medial frontal cortex (MFC) function in the last decade. Investigators studying these issues (such as ourselves) can certainly be gratified by the growing database of findings and the growing sophistic...
متن کاملMedial frontal cortex and response conflict: evidence from human intracranial EEG and medial frontal cortex lesion.
The medial frontal cortex (MFC) has been implicated in the monitoring and selection of actions in the face of competing alternatives, but much remains unknown about its functional properties, including electrophysiological oscillations, during response conflict tasks. Here, we recorded intracranial EEG during a modified Flanker task from the MFC of two patients undergoing pre-surgical evaluatio...
متن کاملChronic Ritalin Administration during Adulthood Increases Serotonin Pool in Rat Medial Frontal Cortex
Background: Ritalin has high tendency to be abused. It has been the main indication to control attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The college students may seek for it to improve their memory, decrease the need for sleep (especially during exams), which at least partially, can be related to serotonergic system. Therefore, it seems worthy to evaluate the effect of Ritalin intake on mature ...
متن کاملMedial frontal cortex in action monitoring.
Effective behavior requires continuous action monitoring. Electrophysiological studies in both monkeys and humans have shown activity in the medial frontal cortex that reflects dynamic control and monitoring of behavioral acts. In humans, the centromedial frontal cortex shows an electrical response within 100 msec of an error, the error-related negativity (ERN). The ERN occurs only when subject...
