Pregunta 6
Pregunta
BA 10 is the top of the pyramid, which is looked at from the bird's eye perspective.
FC has connections to [blank_start]unimodal[blank_end] sensory areas [blank_start]and the motor cortex.[blank_end]
PFC has connections to [blank_start]multimodal[blank_end] areas[blank_start], e.g. the temporal association cortex.[blank_end]
Respuesta
unimodal
multimodal
and the motor cortex.
, e.g. the temporal association cortex.
Pregunta 8
Pregunta
The [blank_start]orbitofrontal[blank_end] cortex is involved in the bottom-up response to reward cues, the anticipation of rewards and the reaction to them.
The PFC might play a role in top-down self-regulation but this is controversial and the exact mechanism is most likely more distributed.
Respuesta
orbitofrontal
ventrolateral
dorsolateral
Pregunta 9

Two theories of PFC function:
- M[blank_start]ental[blank_end] s[blank_start]ketch[blank_end] p[blank_start]ad[blank_end] (working memory)
- C[blank_start]ognitive[blank_end] C[blank_start]ontrol[blank_end] T[blank_start]heory[blank_end] (top-down processing)
