	EMF-Portal - Effects of low-level microwave irradiation on hippocampal and frontal cortical choline uptake are ...
		In a previous study (publication 673), it was found that sodium dependent high-affinity choline uptake in the hippocampus and frontal cortex of rats was lowered after acute exposure to low-level 2450 MHz pulsed microwaves.
		Conditioned effects were also found: an increase in choline uptake in the hippocampus and a decrease in uptake in the frontal cortex.
		The results suggest that the effects of microwaves on choline uptake in the hippocampus and frontal cortex are classically conditionable, probably to cues in the exposure environment.

	Tianeptine ( Stablon, Coaxil ) raises dopamine and blocks stress-induced noradrenaline release in the frontal cortex (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		he effects of various doses of tianeptine on extracellular concentrations of dopamine were studied in the frontal cortex and nucleus accumbens of the rat.
		In another experiment, 10 and 20 mg/kg tianeptine did not modify the extracellular concentrations of noradrenaline in the frontal cortex but dose dependently blocked the increase in extracellular noradrenaline caused by restraint stress.

	Summary of topic Frontal Cortex
		In this study, 25 schizophrenic and 25 OCD patients were evaluated with the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and the Object Alternation Test, tests that are sensitive to DLPC and OFC damage, respectively.
		The results point to a DLPC deficit in schizophrenia and an OFC lability in OCD and confirm that functional disorders of the central nervous system can be investigated using neuropsychological methods.
		Abstract: The fundamental problem with attempting to understand frontal cortical function using the computer-inspired, functionalist models of contemporary cognitive science is that such models are by definition "disembodied." As a result, the brain as well as the mind tends to become disembodied, even "ghostly," in the traditional, dualistic, Cartesian fashion, (Ryle [1949/1984] notwithstanding).

	Patterns of Frontal Lobe Atrophy in Frontotemporal Dementia: A Volumetric MRI Study
		Based on the behavioural changes observed in FTD, it is commonly assumed that the orbitofrontal cortex is the earliest and most severely affected frontal sub-region.
		The regions studied were: the orbitofrontal and insula regions (representing the orbitobasal cortex); the inferior and middle frontal regions (representing the dorsolateral prefrontal areas); and the superior frontal and anterior cingulate regions (representing the medial prefrontal areas).

		For our purposes, one of the more important aspects of hemispheric lateralization points to the idea that positive (or approach-valenced) experiences are processed in the left frontal lobes and negative (or withdrawal-valenced) experiences are processed in the right frontal lobes.
		Because the mechanisms of the frontal lobes for wanting and avoiding are separate, it is most important to build intense, positive states and motivators in order to propel the change.

	The Frontal Cortex
		As William James wrote in Pragmatism: "A sensation is rather like a client who has given his case to a lawyer and then has passively to listen in the courtroom to whatever account of his affairs the lawyer finds it most expedient to give." The inner lawyer in our brain is our imagination.
		This is a basic truism of brain anatomy: there are many more connections from the amygdala (the source of fear) to the frontal cortex (the approximate seat of "reason") than from the frontal cortex to the amygdala.
		We remain surprisingly plastic throughout life, and our frontal cortex continues to develop until after the teenage years are over.

	AHP Perspective
		Empirical research found that cognitive-behavioral therapy alters one’s psychological and neurological status.
		Goldapple and her colleagues (2004) report that depressed patients treated with cognitive therapy indicated significant clinical improvement along with some metabolic changes in their brain: “Increases in hippocampus and dorsal cingulate and decreases in dorsal, ventral, and medial frontal cortex.” The researchers concluded that the metabolic changes may reflect the effectiveness of cognitivebehavioral therapy treatment.
		Nishith and his colleagues studied rape victims with posttraumatic stress disorder to examine whether or not cognitive therapy altered their rapid eye movement (REM) sleep disturbances by measuring their heart rate variability (HRV).
