One surprising finding was that individuals with lesions in the lateral prefrontal cortex, a region often associated with self-control, performed just as well as healthy controls. This result ...

Caption (A) This is an axial T2 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image showing an acute stroke in the left lateral prefrontal cortex. (B) This is a coronal neuropathological specimen of an infarct ...

Figure 6: Activation foci in the basal ganglia, insula/frontal operculum and dorsal lateral prefrontal cortex resulting from greater activation for the time (T) relative to the pitch (P ...

Concomitantly, functional magnetic resonance imaging showed decreased activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex in the cognitively fatigued participants. Ordali and her colleagues wondered, “What ...
