  2. Cognitive neuroscience of dreams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_Neuroscience_of...

    Two main frontal areas have been implicated in the dream process. The first involves the deep white matter of the frontal lobes (just above the eyes). The main systems at work here involve the mesolimbic and mesocortical dopaminergic pathways. There are connecting fibres that run between frontal and limbic structures.

  3. Planning (cognitive) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_(cognitive)

    The Striatum; part of the basal ganglia; neural pathways between the striatum and the frontal lobe have been implicated in planning function. Cognitive planning is one of the executive functions . It encompasses the neurological processes involved in the formulation, evaluation and selection of a sequence of thoughts and actions to achieve a ...

    Donald Thomas Stuss OC OOnt FRSC FCAHS (September 26, 1941 – September 3, 2019) was a Canadian neuropsychologist who studied the frontal lobes of the human brain. He also directed the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest from 1989 until 2009 and the Ontario Brain Institute from 2011 until 2016.

  6. Executive functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_functions

    The frontal lobes have multiple connections to cortical, subcortical and brain stem sites. The basis of "higher-level" cognitive functions such as inhibition, flexibility of thinking, problem solving, planning, impulse control, concept formation, abstract thinking, and creativity often arise from much simpler, "lower-level" forms of cognition ...

  7. Uncinate fasciculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncinate_fasciculus

    The uncinate fasciculus is a bi-directional pathway between the temporal lobe and frontal lobe; it is traditionally considered to be part of the limbic system. [2] It has been proposed that the uncinate fasciculus allows mnemonic representations stored in the temporal lobe to interact with and guide decision making in the frontal lobe. [4]

  8. Supervisory attentional system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supervisory_attentional_system

    The noted probable location of the SAS is in the frontal lobes, [1] more specifically in the prefrontal cortex. [10] This follows in understanding that the frontal lobes provide a framework to reach attainable goals. The dorsolateral region of the frontal lobes is involved in thinking and language, and organizes mental representations of ...

  9. Brodmann area 10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_10

    BA10 is a subdivision of the cytoarchitecturally defined frontal region of cerebral cortex. It occupies the most rostral portions of the superior frontal gyrus and the middle frontal gyrus. In humans, on the medial aspect of the hemisphere it is bounded ventrally by the superior rostral sulcus. It does not extend as far as the cingulate sulcus.
