| 11. | But personal decisions involve both regions, and may be mediated through the ventromedial frontal lobe, Shibata said.
|
| 12. | The axons travel up the length of the spinal cord into the brainstem, specifically the rostral ventromedial medulla.
|
| 13. | The ventromedial prefrontal cortex and its connections to ventral striatum and amygdala are important in affective-emotional processing.
|
| 14. | Specifically, the pyramidal cells of the ventromedial prefrontal cortex are known to be linked with drug seeking behaviors.
|
| 15. | These data add support to a general role of the ventromedial PFC in regulating activity of the amygdala ."
|
| 16. | The dysfunction of the ventromedial cortex seem to, in part, be caused by lower levels of serotonin release.
|
| 17. | Other fibers are sent to the ventromedial ( VM ) nucleus of the thalamus, which projects to the insular cortex.
|
| 18. | Chronic use has been shown to lead to a decrease in the amount of gray matter in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex.
|
| 19. | The ventromedial prefrontal cortex has been said to influence the amygdala by monitoring its reaction to emotional stimuli or even fearful memories.
|
| 20. | Within the brain, somatic markers are thought to be processed in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex ( VMPFC ) and the amygdala.
