The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC[1][2] or DMPFC[3][4] is a section of the prefrontal cortex in some species' brain anatomy.

dmPFC includes the cortex at the top of the medial wall of the prefrontal cortex. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Steven Mee, ... William E. Bunney. The first five quotes were obtained from suicide notes written by depressed patients Leenaars (1988).

2017年3月13日 · It has recently been proposed that the dmPFC is involved in high-level abstract (i.e., categorical) identification or construction of both social and non-social stimuli, referred to as “high construal.”

2020年12月1日 · Here, we show that lesions in the dmPFC induced an algesic and anxious state. Using multiple tracing methods including a rabies-based transsynaptic tracing method, we outlined an excitatory descending neural pathway from the dmPFC to the ventrolateral periaqueductal gray (vlPAG).

2023年12月1日 · In the past decades, the dmPFC/dACC has been associated with more than 15 different cognitive processes, which sometimes appear quite unrelated (e.g. body perception, cognitive conflict). As a result, understanding what the dmPFC/dACC does has become a real challenge for many neuroscientists.

2023年8月2日 · In this review, we provide an overview of the anatomy of the dmPFC/dACC, summarize the state of the art of functions that have been associated with this brain area and present the main theories aiming at explaining the dmPFC/dACC function (s). We explore the commonalities and the arguments between the different theories.

2021年7月14日 · Coping with threatening situations requires both identifying stimuli that predict danger and selecting adaptive behavioural responses to survive 1. The dorsomedial prefrontal cortex...

2024年4月8日 · In studies using functional magnetic brain imaging (fMRI) with human adults, the dorso-medial prefrontal cortex (dmPFC) has been identified as a key brain region involved in social cognitive processes critical for theory of mind and prosociality (Amodio & …

2021年3月31日 · Postsynaptic striatal and thalamic neurons differentially process synaptic inputs from dmPFC and vmPFC, highlighting mechanisms that potentially amplify distinct pathways underlying cognitive...

2024年11月1日 · Using the multimodal neuroimaging dataset from the Human Connectome Project (Study 1, N =978 adults), we established a reliable association between the dmPFC and self-control, as measured by discounting rate—the tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed ones.
