Document Summary
Executive function: lateral, orbitofrontal and medial prefrontal areas implicated in planning complex behaviors, personality expression and moderating correct social behavior. (a) human (b) monkey. Dorsomedial pfc (dmpfc) are activated by cognitive tasks such as action monitoring and attention. Anterior portion of the mpfc is activated by tasks such as rating one"s emotional to pictures. Ventromedial pfc (vmpfc) is activated by emotional tasks such as monitoring task outcomes associated with reward or punishment. Brodmann areas include brocas area in the inferior frontal gyrus and wernickes area in the superior temporal gyrus: orbitofrontal cortex, lateral prefrontal cortex, ventromedial cortex, limbic system, anterior cingulate cortex. The left hemisphere is associated with rational (analytic) cognition and. The right hemisphere is associated with affective (syncretic) cognition. In the left hemisphere, broca"s area damage is associated with. Expressive aphasia and wernicke"s area damage with receptive aphasia. Broca"s area and wernicke"s area in the left hemisphere of the human brain (from handedness.
