The orbitofrontal cortex: reward, emotion and depression

Edmund T. Rolls, Wei Cheng, Jianfeng Feng · 1 Jan 2020

The orbitofrontal cortex in primates including humans is the key brain area in emotion, and in the representation of reward value and in non-reward, that is not obtaining an expected reward. Cortical processing before the orbitofrontal cortex is about the identity of stimuli, i.e. 'what' is present, and not about reward value. There is evidence…

Frequent neurocognitive deficits after recovery from mild COVID-19

Marcel S. Woo, Jakob Malsy, Jana Pöttgen et al. · 1 Jan 2020

Neuropsychiatric complications associated with coronavirus disease 2019 caused by the Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) are increasingly appreciated. While most studies have focussed on severely affected individuals during acute infection, it remains unclear whether mild COVID-19 results in neurocognitive deficits in young patients. Here, we established a screening approach to detect cognitive deficiencies in post-COVID-19 patients. In…

Role of oxidative stress in neurodegenerative disorders: a review of reactive oxygen species and prevention by antioxidants

Annwyne Houldsworth · 28 Dec 2023

Neurological disorders include a variety of conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, motor neuron disease and Parkinson's disease, affecting longevity and quality of life, and their pathogenesis is associated with oxidative stress. Several of the chronic neurodegenerative pathologies of the CNS share some common features, such as oxidative stress, inflammation, synapse dysfunctions, protein misfolding and defective autophagia.…

The role of the medial prefrontal cortex in cognition, ageing and dementia

Dan Jobson, Yoshiki Hase, Andrew N. Clarkson et al. · 8 Jun 2021

Humans require a plethora of higher cognitive skills to perform executive functions, such as reasoning, planning, language and social interactions, which are regulated predominantly by the prefrontal cortex. The prefrontal cortex comprises the lateral, medial and orbitofrontal regions. In higher primates, the lateral prefrontal cortex is further separated into the respective dorsal and ventral subregions.…

The cognitive consequences of the COVID-19 epidemic: collateral damage?

Karen Ritchie, Dennis Chan, Tam Watermeyer · 1 Jan 2020

Recovery from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) will be principally defined in terms of remission from respiratory symptoms; however, both clinical and animal studies have shown that coronaviruses may spread to the nervous system. A systematic search on previous viral epidemics revealed that while there has been relatively little research in this area, clinical studies have…
