NAc receives dopaminergic connections from the ventral tegmental area (VTA). vlPFC also sends glutamatergic inputs to NAc, and NAc has a strong connection to the insula. Elevated activity of anterior ...

The regions of interest (ROIs) included the dorsal prefrontal cortex (dPFC), ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC), and parietal lobe (PL). The Stroop task is divided into early stage (0–15 s) and ...

The authors provide a compelling method for characterizing communication within brain networks. The study engages important, biologically pertinent, concerns related to the balance of dynamics and ...
