“…Although the superior frontal gyrus activation could reflect differences in processing effort, it is unclear why this would be lateralized differently for social and nonsocial SECs. Furthermore, the suggestion that representations of event knowledge may be stored in PFC regions is consistent with both theory (e.g., Grafman, 1995Grafman, , 1999Fuster, 1997;Burnod, 1991) and previous research (e.g., Ruby, Sirigu, & Decety, 2002;Partiot et al, 1995;Sirigu et al, 1995Sirigu et al, , 1996.…”

“…These predictions were partially upheld by the findings of dorsolateral PFC activation that was lateralized to the left for social SECs and to the right for nonsocial SECs. The difference in findings with the Partiot et al (1995) study may be because they explored localization differences between generation of imagined emotional and nonemotional social plans, whereas the verbal classification categories in the present experiment were social and nonsocial activities. Given the present findings, it seems likely that social and nonsocial categories do not map directly to emotional and nonemotional categories.…”

“…We had predicted that the SECs would be associated with bilateral dorsolateral PFC and orbito-frontal regions (Partiot et al, 1995). Based on the possibility of differences in emotionality between the social and nonsocial activities, we had also predicted that the social SECs might be associated with activation of the left anterior cingulate.…”

“…An fMRI study showed activation of bilateral frontal regions in processing of script sequence information-that is, the order of event components (Crozier et al, 1999). A PET study showed different patterns of PFC activation when subjects generated emotional and nonemotional plans (Partiot, Grafman, Sadato, Wachs, & Hallett, 1995). The nonemotional plans activated the right superior frontal gyrus and the bilateral middle and medial frontal gyri, whereas emotional plans activated the left anterior cingulate, bilateral medial frontal gyrus, and probably the amygdala.…”

Abstract& Complex social behavior and the relatively large size of the prefrontal cortex are arguably two of the characteristics that distinguish humans from other animals. Grafman presented a framework concerning how the prefrontal cortex (PFC) controls complex behavior using stored structured event complexes (SECs). We report behavioral and imaging data from a modified go/no-go paradigm in which subjects had to classify words (semantic) and phrases (SEC) according to category. In experimental trials, subjects classified items according to social or nonsocial activity; in control trials, they classified items according to font. Subjects were faster to classify social than nonsocial semantic items, with the reverse pattern evident for the social and nonsocial SEC items. In addition, the conditions were associated with different patterns of PFC activation. These results suggest that there are different psychological and neural substrates for social and nonsocial semantic and SEC representations. &

“…These findings are consistent with current theorizing that dorsal medial prefrontal regions may be involved in selecting a behavioral response, a function that may be taxed by both color-conflicting words and emotionally salient words (Braver, Barch, Gray, Molfese, & Snyder, 2001;Milham et al, 2001). In studies of emotion, the medial frontal cortex has been implicated in attending to internal emotional states (Lane, Fink, Chau, & Dolan, 1997), generating emotional responses to pictures (Teasdale et al, 1999), and generating emotional plans (Partiot, Grafman, Sadato, Wachs, & Hallett, 1995). These apparently diverse functions have in common the selection of behavioral responses in situations in which multiple competing actions are possible.…”

Cognition and emotion are intricately intertwined, because individuals orient toward, perceive, and interpret external stimuli in the context of their motivational and behavioral significance. Information associated with danger, for example, may be especially likely to capture or engage attention. Behavioral studies have confirmed that people are slower to shift attention away from words with emotional significance (e.g., Stormark, Nordby, & Hugdahl, 1995), supporting the notion that emotional factors may have an important influence on the deployment and operation of attention. How emotional factors modulate activity in brain regions involved in attention is thus an important question. To address this issue, in the present investigation, we examined the impact of emotional salience on activity in neural systems of attention by examining the influence of emotional and nonemotional distractors on brain activation.One viewpoint regarding the relationship between emotion and cognition holds that reciprocal brain regions are involved in emotional versus cognitive tasks. For example, Drevets and Raichle (1998) found, across a wide range of PET studies, that a constellation of regions, including the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), was consistently more active during cognitive tasks but was less active during tasks with an emotional component. A complementary constellation of regions, including the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the ventral ACC, and the amygdala, was more active for emotional tasks and less active for nonemotional tasks. The authors interpreted these findings as supporting a reciprocity, or tradeoff, between cognition and emotion, such that as activity increases in cognitive regions, it decreases in emotional regions and vice versa.Although the reciprocity conception of cognition and emotion may be a useful heuristic for conceptualizing In this research, we investigated the degree to which brain systems involved in ignoring emotionally salient information differ from those involved in ignoring nonemotional information. The design allowed examination of regional brain activity, using fMRI during color-word and emotional Stroop tasks. Twelve participants indicated the color of words while ignoring word meaning in conditions in which neutral words were contrasted to emotionally negative, emotionally positive, and incongruent color words. Dorsolateral frontal lobe activity was increased by both negative and incongruent color words, indicating a common system for maintaining an attentional set in the presence of salient distractors. In posterior regions of the brain, activity depended on the nature of the information to be ignored. Ignoring color-incongruent words increased left parietal activity and decreased parahippocampal gyrus activity, whereas ignoring negative emotional words increased bilateral occipito-temporal activityand decreasedamygdala activity. The results indicate that emotion and attention are intimately related via a network of regions tha...

One of our highest evolved functions as human beings is our capacity to switch between multiple tasks effectively. A body of research has identified a distributed frontoparietal network of brain regions which contribute to task switching. However, relatively less is known about whether some brain regions may contribute to switching in a domain-general manner while others may be more preferential for different kinds of switching. To explore this issue, we conducted three meta-analyses focusing on different types of task switching frequently used in the literature (perceptual, response, and context switching), and created a conjunction map of these distinct switch types. A total of 36 switching studies with 562 activation coordinates were analyzed using the activation likelihood estimation method. Common areas associated with switching across switch type included the inferior frontal junction and posterior parietal cortex. In contrast, domain-preferential activation was observed for perceptual switching in the dorsal portion of the premotor cortex and for context switching in frontopolar cortex. Our results suggest that some regions within the frontoparietal network contribute to domain-general switching processes while others contribute to more domain-preferential processes, according to the type of task switch performed.
