Selective attention and the visual representation of object attributes in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and anterior cingulate cortex of the rhesus monkey
… extracellular recordings were 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 …

Controlling memory and resolving interference : prefrontal contributions to flexible behavior
… and (2) the consistent finding of 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 …

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 …

Understanding the Role of the Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Emotional Memory using Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
… stimuli. Recent evidence suggests 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. …

A comparative analysis of musical ability and performance on mathematical exams determined by brain activity and scoring
… processes that are largely associated with the prefrontal cortex and include working memory, attention shifting, decision making, and cognitive flexibility. The aim of this study is to determine the cognitions w/ music which music enhances executive functions, how this translates to performance …

Domain-general control mechanisms underlying stopping of thought and action
… co-localized activity c) the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(DLPFC) 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 …

The impact of emotional distraction on cognition: from basic brain responses to large-scale network interactions
… hemispheric dissociation emerged in the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) related to coping with emotional distraction, with women showing a positive correlation with WM performance in left ventral PFC, and men showing similar effects in the right dorsal PFC. Study three investigated the impact and …
