The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is a region of the brain that plays a crucial role in social and affective functions, as well as moral competency. It is involved in emotional regulation, decision-making, integration of cognition and affect recognition, encoding of emotional values, and processing of facial signals.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex is connected to and receives input from the ventral tegmental area, amygdala, the temporal lobe, the olfactory system, and the dorsomedial thalamus.
Recent neuroimaging studies suggest that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) contributes to regulation of emotion.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has been implicated in a variety of social, cognitive, and affective functions that are commonly disrupted in mental illness. In this review, we summarize data from a diverse array of human and animal studies demonstrating that the vmPFC is a key node of co ….
A view of ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) function has emerged wherein the prelimbic region of the vmPFC supports fear expression, while the infralimbic region supports fear inhibition.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) has been implicated in a variety of social, cognitive, and affective functions that are commonly disrupted in mental illness.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex consists primarily of the orbitofrontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex, and also is known as the ‘limbic’ cortex important in decision making and social judgment.
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), encompassing the rostral anterior cingulate cortex, medial prefrontal cortex, subgenual cingulate cortex, and orbitofrontal cortex, has been shown to play a key role in the extinction of conditioned fear responses, and importantly, in the maintenance of fear extinction over time (Milad and Quirk, 2002;...
In particular, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), which is part of the mPFC, functions in emotion regulation by encoding emotional stimuli and by regulating anxiety and fear extinction 9 – 12.
Ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is vital for decision-making. Functional neuroimaging links vmPFC to processing rewards and effort, while parallel work suggests vmPFC involvement in...
