Abstract

Eeg Coherence between Prefrontal and Posterior Cortical Regions is Related to Negative Personality Traits

Highlights

  • Despite the high prevalence of mood disorders, their underlying psychopathology remains poorly understood

  • The dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is thought to monitor for errors or processing conflicts that could disrupt performance and to recruit the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) (DLPFC) to reallocate attentional resources as needed (Allman, et al, 2001)

  • Attentional bias is perhaps the clearest example of when the ACC-DLPFC relationship is unsuccessful through a failure to ward off emotional distracters

Summary

Introduction

Despite the high prevalence of mood disorders, their underlying psychopathology remains poorly understood. The dorsal ACC is thought to monitor for errors or processing conflicts that could disrupt performance and to recruit the dorsolateral PFC (DLPFC) to reallocate attentional resources as needed (Allman, et al, 2001). Cognitive reallocation by the ACC is thought to be activated by demanding tasks that involve stimulusresponse selection in the face of competing streams of information such as emotionally valenced distractions.
