Prefrontal cortex executive processes affected by stress in health and disease
Open accessAbstract
Prefrontal cortical executive functions comprise a number of cognitive capabilities necessary for goal directed behavior and adaptation to a changing environment. Executive dysfunction that leads to maladaptive behavior and is a symptom of psychiatric pathology can be instigated or exacerbated by stress. In this review we survey research addressing the impact of stress on executive function, with specific focus on working memory, attention, response inhibition, and cognitive flexibility. We then consider the neurochemical pathways underlying these cognitive capabilities and, where known, how stress alters them. Finally, we review work exploring potential pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches that can ameliorate deficits in executive function. Both preclinical and clinical literature indicates that chronic stress negatively affects executive function. Although some of the circuitry and neurochemical processes underlying executive function have been characterized, a great deal is still unknown regarding how stress affects these processes. Additional work focusing on this question is needed in order to make progress on developing interventions that ameliorate executive dysfunction.

“Compared to non-meditators, healthy volunteers who had followed a meditation training course for 6–8 weeks performed better on a Stroop task (Allen et al 2012, Moore & Malinowski 2009, Teper & Inzlicht 2013), the Hayling task (Heeren et al 2009), and response inhibition tasks (Sahdra et al 2011).”

What the sources say
- Supportedcites Allen et al 2012 source
Allen et al. is cited for the Stroop task, not the Hayling or response-inhibition tasks, which have separate citations. The Results report that after six weeks, the meditation group had a significantly greater reduction in affective Stroop conflict than the active-control group. (LLM, conf=0.92)

- Partly supportedcites Teper & Inzlicht 2013 sourceExperimental — accuracy not yet measured
The Methods Participants section says the meditators had at least one year of experience, not a 6–8-week training course. The Stroop Task Performance section reports fewer errors among meditators than controls, but describes the difference as a trend that was not robust. This citation is attached to the Stroop finding, not the separately cited Hayling and response-inhibition tasks; page numbers are not available in the supplied passages. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
