Understanding the Role of the Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Emotional Memory using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
… that the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) has multiple roles in the enhancing effects of emotion on memory through top-down/controlled processes, including 1) coping with negative distraction and 2) elaborative encoding of negative information. Additionally, previous research has …

The role of ventrolateral prefrontal cortex in performance of spatial self-ordered response sequences in the marmoset
The ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) in primates plays an important role in cognitive control and working memory, but as argued in the Introduction its contribution to those aspects of goal-directed behaviour such as planning and executing spatial response sequences requires further …

Controlling memory and resolving interference : prefrontal contributions to flexible behavior
… activation in ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) during task switching. These observations motivate the hypothesis that left VLPFC may resolve proactive interference arising from long-term memory during a task switch. Chapters 2 and 3 describe three fMRI experiments conducted in …

The Neural Correlates of Guilt and Restitution During a Social Decision Making Task
… between trait guilt and BOLD signal in the vlPFC and mPFC during acts of restitution. Furthermore, choices of harm when compared to help showed increased BOLD signal in the amygdala, insula, and the superior temporal sulcus. The present results are consistent with past studies that indicate …

Effects of Atomoxetine and Methylphenidate on functional brain activation in Medication-naive children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
… in patients relative to controls in right VLPFC and cerebellar/occipital areas during motor inhibition, in left IFC during TD and WM and in left putamen and SMA/ACC during TD. During WM, ATX showed drug-specific upregulation and normalisation effects relative to MPH in right DLPFC, which …

Neural Correlates of Adolescent Mindfulness, Working Memory, and Internalizing Symptoms
… and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC, vlPFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Controlling for neuroticism, sex, and mindfulness experience, higher adolescent dispositional mindfulness, including higher self-acceptance and the interaction between attention and awareness and …

An EEG Source-Space Analysis of the Neural Correlates Underlying Self-Regulation
… indicative of performance monitoring. The right VLPFC was indicative of conflict adaptation in reactive control and response conflict, and indicative of motor inhibition in inhibitory control. DLPFC was most active for goal maintenance during proactive and reactive control. The left VLPFC was …

A comparative analysis of musical ability and performance on mathematical exams determined by brain activity and scoring
… cortex (DLPFC), ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), and inferior fronto-lateral cortex (IFLC) for each task. RESULTS: Of the eight enrolled in the study, four participants were determined to be musicians and four determined to be non-musicians based on a self …

Selective attention and the visual representation of object attributes in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex of the rhesus monkey
… made in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) and anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) while the monkey performed the task. Neuronal selectivity for matching rule, object attributes, attribute relevance, response choice, and congruency were assessed using multi-factor ANOVAs. …

Identifying the Neural Correlates of Motor Sequence Learning and Movement Automaticity
… right hemisphere (e.g., right ventrolateral PFC (VLPFC)) and the suggestion that the left DLPFC may not reflect movement automaticity but rather attentional investment in movement preparation. To address the signal processing concerns observed in experiment one and two, the third experiment …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action
… and the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex(VLPFC), dynamically inhibit different target regions depending on whether memory control or motor control is required d) regions involved in memory and emotion are inhibited in parallel by stopping mechanisms. Based on these findings, we posit that …

EXAMINING THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF NON-SUICIDAL SELF-INJURY IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS: THE ROLE OF REWARD RESPONSIVITY
… and ventromedial prefrontal cortex [vlPFC; vmPFC], and insula) and whole-brain connectivity (utilizing bilateral DS, mPFC, and insula seed ROIs) in youth with and without NSSI. We used two reward tasks, in order to examine differences between groups across domains of reward (i.e., …

The impact of emotional distraction on cognition: from basic brain responses to large-scale network interactions
The goal of the current dissertation was to clarify the behavioral and neural mechanisms associated with the impact and control of emotional distraction by investigating the influences of the nature (positive vs. negative) and source (external vs. internal) of emotional distraction, the types of …
