REAL ES 5 Lecture Notes - Lecture 12: Tegmentum, Temporal Lobe, Frontal Lobe
Document Summary
Prefrontal cortex also sends reciprocal connections to most areas that project to it, and to premotor and motor areas. It also has many projections to the contralateral hemisphere, to homologous prefrontal areas via the corpus callosum as well as bilateral projections to premotor and subcortical regions for decision making we consider a finer-grained analysis of the dopamine system. Mindfulness training (mt) and its effects: (allen) Mt improves working memory and attention in novices, later emotional processing. This study uses affective stroop test (as) to see effect of mt compared to active control-group (shared reading and listening srl) cognitive control and emotional interference. As (affective stroop) (fmri task) -> affective processing. Srl participants practiced more than mt participants, but did not differ in motivation. Both groups improved on eat, but changes in stop accuracy were more related to practice amount of mt and not to srl practice amount (amount of srl does not predict improvement in stop accuracy)
