A connectionist approach to the prefrontal cortex
Abstract
Recent data from studies of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in humans and laboratory animals are reviewed with particular reference to the anatomical substrates of prefrontal neuropsychological function in health and disease. The PFC has been shown to have a unique pattern of supramodal connectivity with intracortical and subcortical circuits that place the PFC in an anatomical position to subserve "executive" cognitive functions and modulate limbic information to relate to basal ganglia circuits in a highly specific manner and to uniquely control the neurochemical elements of attention and reward. PFC connectivity is also consistent with current hypotheses about prefrontal neuropsychology, which emphasize conscious, goal-directed behavior guided by past experience. PFC connectivity explains the frequency with which prefrontal dysfunction is seen in disease states, which, on the basis of neuroimaging and neuropathology data, can be categorized as either intrinsic or dysconnection disorders.

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.
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.
