Effects of systemic and intra-prefrontal cortex administrations of ethanol on spatial working memory in male rats
Introduction: Ethanol can induce a wide spectrum of neurophysiological effects via interaction with multiple neurotransmitter systems and disruption of the balances between inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitters. Prefrontal cortex is involved in cognitive process including working memory and is sensitive to ethanol. Present study investigates the effects of intraperitoneal (i.p.) admini...
متن کاملHemispheric specialization of the lateral prefrontal cortex for strategic processing during spatial and shape working memory.
OBJECTIVE We investigated whether spatial working memory (WM) is associated with functional specialization of the right prefrontal cortex (PFC) relative to WM for shapes. We designed spatial and shape WM tasks that are relatively easy to perform and that minimize both task-switching and manipulation demands. The tasks use identical stimuli and require the same motor response. METHODS We prese...
متن کاملReward-dependent modulation of working memory in lateral prefrontal cortex.
Although research implicates lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in executive control and goal-directed behavior, it remains unclear how goals influence executive processes. One possibility is that goal-relevant information, such as expected rewards, could modulate the representation of information relating to executive control, thereby ensuring the efficient allocation of cognitive resources. To i...
متن کاملPrefrontal Cortical GABA Modulation of Spatial Reference and Working Memory
BACKGROUND Dysfunction in prefrontal cortex (PFC) GABA transmission has been proposed to contribute to cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia, yet how this system regulates different cognitive and mnemonic functions remains unclear. METHODS We assessed the effects of pharmacological reduction of GABAA signaling in the medial PFC of rats on spatial reference/working memory using different vers...
متن کاملDiscovering spatial working memory fields in prefrontal cortex.
THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX is considered to be a key cortical substrate of the highest-level mental processes. Yet, despite the bewildering gamut and complexity of cognitive processes that depend on the prefrontal cortex, over the last decades significant progress has been made in linking the prefrontal function with its cellular and circuit mechanisms in a field at the interface between cognitive s...
