The lesion groups included people with damage to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC), or anterior insula (AI), and a "frontal control" group with ...

People who have damage to a specific part of their brains are more likely to be impulsive, and new research has found that damage also makes them more likely to be influenced by other people.

The team also used a combination of mathematical modeling and existing brain scans to map the size and location of lesions in the medial prefrontal cortex. The results suggest that specific impulsive ...

Brain lesions that were associated with lower PTSD incidence included the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), medial temporal lobe, and anterolateral temporal lobe, which were collectively referred ...

and how is this information then used to modulate the impact of negative events to produce resiliency in the present and future. The medial prefrontal cortex is a focus in the study of both issues.

They found that a lesion that would cause someone to give up an addiction would probably affect parts of the brain like the dorsal cingulate, lateral prefrontal cortex and insula – but not the ...
