Representation of attitudinal knowledge: role of prefrontal cortex, amygdala and parahippocampal gyrus.

摘要: It has been proposed that behavior is influenced by representations of different types knowledge: action representations, event knowledge, attitudes and stereotypes. Attitudes (representations a concept or object its emotional evaluation) allow us to respond quickly given stimulus. In this study, we explored the representation inhibition attitudes. We show right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex mediates negative whereas left ventrolateral positive Parahippocampal regions amygdala mediate evaluative processing. Furthermore, anxiety modulates activation during attitude Inhibition activates orbitofrontal cortex: region when damaged associated with socially inappropriate in patients. brain system involving inferior frontal gyrus bilateral anterior cingulate. Thus, there are dissociable networks for
