The Prefrontal Cortex (PFC), Anterior Cingulate Cortex (ACC), Inferior Parietal Lobule
(IPL), basal ganglia and caudate, have been proposed as language control mechanisms
by Abutalebi and Green (2007). In the present ...

Plasticity in the prelimbic cortex a lesion of the dorsal cerebellar cortex in rats trained to acquire cocaine-induced preference conditioning
(Universitat Jaume I, 2016-09-22)
Exposure to drugs of abuse induces plasticity in the brain and creates persistent drug-related memories. Drug seeking derives from an over-consolidation of such drug-dependent Pavlovian memories in the striatum-cortico-limbic ...
